Reviews

Armitage has triumphed. . . . The verse requires attention; but, once you are attuned to the alliterative structure, it 's as swift as the swish of a sword. --David Blackburn

Armitage, on top form, renders [Arthur] expertly. --Bill Greenwell

Invitingly ingenious and inventive. --Jeremy Noel-Tod
