"Dr Maura Dooley said: ""Whether considering landscape, a chapter in history, childbirth, child loss, 'I am living by the tick of a stopped clock', reimagining the lives of three women important in Robert Burns's life or relishing the longing in a sense of home, 'In the bittersweet lull/between two days,/open your mouth/to salted air - //and I will make of you a vowel sound.' these are poems of delicacy and import. This is a confident, assured voice able to face grief 'Loss - a thorn that cannot be drawn/by clenched teeth..' yet still be wry about loss and difference, '...me, the rusted iron barb/of a neglected fence,/you, the snagged fur/of a mountain hare.'"""
