Media Reviews
John Kinsella's poems are a very rare feat: they are narratives of feeling. Vivid sight - of landscapes, of animals, of human forms in distant light - becomes insight. There is, often, the shock of the new. But somehow awaited, even familiar. Which is the homecoming of a true poet. - George Steiner; John Kinsella delights in disturbance... His poems grab the traditions of the pastoral with both hands and twist them to fit a landscape where a dog is ripped open by a cornered roo, a lorry jack-knifes with its load of sheep and wells 'go salt'... Kinsella writes like an Australian storm at full blow. - Helen Dunmore, The Observer
