PRAISE FOR ‘EXTRANJEROS’:
“HERE ARE THE DEEP, HEAVY SHADES OF A HOT COUNTRY, AS IMPRESSIONS FROM THE PAST STAND OUT FROM THE SHALLOW SURFACE OF THE PRESENT…THE LANGUAGE SPILLING INTO SPANISH ‘LIKE A BASKET OF HANGING PLANTS’ . THIS COLLECTION SPEAKS TRULY TO ANYONE WHO CARRIES IMPRESSIONS OF ANOTHER LAND, THE PLACE OF CHILDHOOD – AND THAT IS ALL OF US” Candy Neubert
“THESE POEMS UNDERSTAND THE PAST IS FOREVER SEEPING INTO THE PRESENT, EVEN GENERATIONS LATER; THEY ARE VIBRANT, COLOURFUL ACTS OF PERSONAL, CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL RECOVERY” Martyn Crucefix
