“This collection is the poet’s profound meditation on the construction of the few by the many-one, the running crowds and the lion who sets the law, and the evocation of Blake's mythology is wonderfully grounded in a strong personal and political myth that the reader can see being played out in this suite of "Scavenger" poems. No lamb lying down for these poems: a rich vein of poetry lies in wait for the reader here as the poems spray word bullets at the prevailing doxa or political and social imagination that continues to plague nations across the world. The poems herein strike a strong chord with me, and masterfully too.”
