Considered, enquiring, restless, Abracadabra is a stimulating and accessible collection of poems which explore the everyday dilemmas faced by the thoughtful individual in an urban environment.

Similar images, objects, characters, concepts recur in different contexts, in unpremeditated and unimposed ways, and weave webs of enriching significance. There is a maturity and continuity of vision … realising a note of almost Romantic resolution between the polarities of the volume: meaning and absence, life and art, the prosaic and the poetic.

Alan Urquart, Southerly
