Overview

"Whether portraying ancestral hearth-sides in North Norfolk, the coast and countryside of Northumberland, or varied settings in between, Paul Berry conjures a strong sense of mood and location. At times focusing on family life, everyday rituals, rites of passage or the legacies of lost love, these poems celebrate the often remarkable nature of things routine, familiar and commonplace. Reviews for previous collections: “Berry is a poet of place. He explores the spirit of place, the effect of landscape on the individual… (His) work is tight and careful, a sculptor with words”: British Underground Magscene. ""This ability to evoke the past that lies in the earth is reminiscent of Seamus Heaney's poetry:"" The Paper Independent Monthly"
