Jeanette Winterson:
'I love Michael Symmons Roberts's poetry. He is a religious poet in a secular age. His work is about the connection between the things of the spirit and the things of the world. And his work is about transcendence.'
The Observer (Adam Thorpe):
“ Michael Symmons Roberts’ poems
are intense and sensual explorations of the moment when
the soul quickens to some ice-cracking life”
The Guardian (Robert Potts):
“ He reflects on the
world in a way that is informed by a sense of grace,
of transcendence, but the pieces are grounded in detail,
beautifully expressed, subtly luminous.”
The Independent (Christina
Patterson):
“ In his
gorgeously meditative collection, Corpus, Michael Symmons
Roberts takes a cool, hard look at his own mortal coil,
moving between images of his body ‘on the slab’ and
glimpses of intimacy and absence.”
