Reviews

Haunting... account of lives struck by loss and threatened by love... a singular voice.John Williams, author of The Cardiff TrilogyDemonstrates a proper allegiance to the peripheries. In stance and style, Jeb Loy Nichols summons the vagrant spirit of Douglas Woolf, that great master of going-with-your-fate. Here is a supple intelligence in play. A sprightly and welcome voice in a time of stalled metaphors and gassy rhetoric.Iain Sinclair
