Reseñas de la Crítica

Mesmerising, magical, deeply moving. I loved and adored this book! If you are looking for a read that will warm your heart, inspire your creative mind and renew your faith in the resilience of the human race, look no further (ELIF SHAFAK)

A poem to Pádraig is like a child to Mary Poppins. It sits, alert, in wonder that he should know it so well. I would go out at night to hear Pádraig talk of the poems. The next best thing, maybe even better, is Poetry Unbound . . . There should be a copy of Poetry Unbound in every bar, every café, every train station, every bus station, every airport, every workplace, every school, every university, everywhere! (LEMN SISSAY)

A wonderful anthology of poetry filled with fascinating and thought-provoking commentary from one of the best voices in contemporary poetry today (WILLIAM SIEGHART)

Sublime

I have spent years wondering if there would ever be a book that I could say felt like it was written straight to me. I have always felt that I was out of my depth and excluded from the right to say that this is the creative world I belong in, a place that was like a first language, an indigenous home. I am so grateful to have been able to hear this, sit with it, and listen as if alongside a friend. As a teenager I wanted more than anything to write poetry, but part of me was limited by a lack of informed understanding. More correctly, the only thing I had was intuition. This is a beautiful and precious book.It has opened and lit my world.
