"The UEA is a supportive community, a creative muse and a fertile ground – under clear East Anglian skies – to grow the best crop of new writers each year. Sample and enjoy this season's produce."
-- Jeremy Page, author of Salt and The Wake.

"This is a bold, diverse enjoyable selection of poems. The authors would rather take a risk than play it safe. Good for them." 
-- Sean O'Brien 

"The poems here are wonderfully various, with intriguing explorations of form, both traditional and 'free', married to provocative and engaging ideas and arguments about the nature of language, science, history and popular culture (among many other things); through it all, what emerges is not only a sense of exciting individual talents mining and developing their own gifts, but also a renewed conviction that the art of poetry is not just alive and well in Britain today, but ready to go out there and rattle a few cages." 
-- John Burnside
