''Obliquity embraces fathers and fishing, coastlines and Captain Cook. The imagery is arresting - avocados are "carved omens", beaches "white as hallucination" and closure always nuanced - '"came home everyday with his one trick of / disappearing into light". A collection to be savoured.' - Kevin Gillam'   (Publication summary)
