Praise for Andrew Waterman
'His imagination teems with the kind of detail one expects from a novelist: to find it coupled to such metrical dexterity is rare indeed. A great entertainer, Waterman is essentially a serious poet'
Poetry Review
'Waterman is a serious poet, always interesting and intelligent, a writer who extends his range with each book.'
Julian Symons, The Sunday Times
