The First Death of Venice Summary
The First Death of Venice Reviews
The quality of Martin Stokes's poetry is in its strangeness, and in the way seemingly straightforward pieces fail to add up. -- Simon Armitage
A confident, substantial and wide-ranging collection, with an air of exhilaration in the indulgence of impressive formal gifts. Appropriately for a poet, Stokes is drunk on words, a stylist and an experimenter. He is definitely one to watch. -- Robert Johnstone * Times Educational Supplement *
