Fire Stations Summary

Fire Stations by A. B. Jackson

Awarded the Forward Prize Best First Collection 2003 One of ten poets chosen for 'Anvil New Poets 3' (2001), A.B. Jackson was singled out by John Greening in Poetry Review for his 'demanding and ambitious work: direct, sharp in manner, with an intellectual edge, a valedictory quality'. Fire Stations is his first collection.

Fire Stations Reviews

'A.B. Jackson has found a new voice for the 21st century. His stark admixtures of the sacred and surreal have the Gothic fascination of gold-inlaid medieval crucifixes. Without being obscure, these poems are harsh, inventive, compassionate, disturbing. A lingering wit and an eye for the sinister keep the reader in suspense.'Anne Stevenson
