A surrealist exploration of mortality and faith in our chaotic world Welsh poet Stephen Knight turns the clock back, speeds up time or freezes it. Life is viewed through a wide-angle lens, the edges distorted, the images often at the heart of the landscape are sharply focused and always recognizable. With techniques ranging from montage to the villanelle, Knight's poems are both playful and touching. Triumphant poetry, benignly satirical, morbidly affirmative, highly original. -- London Magazine
