Ultrasilence Reviews

I was sorry when I came to the last page. I enjoyed it that much. - Greg Freeman, Write Out Loud; A collection of acutely and fondly observed everyday acts by everyday people ... heartfelt and beautiful. - Chris Lloyd, Producer; Bleak yet tender, littered with sadness and tinged with humour, Ultrasilence chronicles love, loss and yearning with searing honesty. A brave and compelling book. - Andrew Davies, Historian & Author; Gets to grips with the parts of life we'd rather forget. - Dave Morgan, Write Out Loud Co-founder; From early doors to last orders, John Darwin's poetry leaves us drunk on its honesty and thirsty for more. - Tony Walsh AKA Longfella, Poet; Captures the mundane, the melancholy and the mellifluous ... makes the epic out of the humble. Poetry of the highest calibre. - Stephen Kingston, Journalist & Bury New Road Project Director; With searching honesty and a rare eye for detail he offers up something irresistible ... a journey unknowable yet certain. - Winston Plowes, Poet & Educator
