Reviews

'Mr Sinclair writes beautifully and analyses the poet's development with clarity and humour.' Keith Baxter, Daily Telegraph 'Sinclair shares with his subject a lively, paranomastic prose style, and his account of an instinctively respectable psyche afflicted with the frightening gift of poetry makes fascinating and most enjoyable reading.' Sean MacMahon, Irish Independent
