Review of The Harvest and the Lamp in Trinity House Review
Poet Lisa McCabe reviews my book in the new issue of Trinity House Review, edited by Dan Rattelle and Travis Wright. The review is on p. 33 of this pdf of the issue: https://trinityhousedotcom.files.wor...thr_easter.pdf
There are also poems there by Sphereans Marly Youmans, Coleman Glenn, and Andrew Szilvasy, and a lot else besides.
It's a worthwhile venue for poems, metrical or not.

Oh, cool - you have a book out. I have bought it now!
I love the sonics in the examples that Lisa McCabe shares and I'm excited to read the rest of the poems.
Nice journal, too. It is lovely to find new reading, thank you so much.

Thanks Aaron, David, and Sarah-Jane. Yes, Lisa McCabe gave a generous and various helping of well chosen quotations, which I really appreciate. I hope you enjoy the book, Sarah-Jane!

I hope you don't mind my dragging up the thread, but I wanted to quickly say that the book arrived last week and I'm really enjoying it.
My favourite lines so far are 'hieroglyphic feathers/ Inscrutable forever/ With light, air and mist'. I 'think' (I might be wrong) that this poem (For That Which Has Fallen) describes the outside of a half-ruined church, and it's such a perfect description of - not just a Victorian tombstone - but that sense of perfect, strangely spiritual decay that lives outside old churches.
I agree with what Lisa McCabe suggests - it might have been overlooked because there have been lots of responses to the pandemic recently, but, that, in these fragile times it's a lovely book to read, full of quiet but powerful interesting things to think about.

Hi Sarah-Jane, it’s very kind of you to bump up the thread to comment on the book. Thank you! And, Bill, a belated thanks for enjoying the read.
Best,
Andrew
