Media Reviews
An Occasional Lean-to is a striking collection of poems in which Pople demonstrates his acute eye for the detail of the human world as well as the natural one. It reveals a sensibility which is both subtle and stealthy: uncanny. Ian McMillan; What saves Pople from being another despondent poetic voice is his skill with the extraordinary. Jeff Nuttall in The Independent; Throughout this collection there is to be heard an insistent tone of voice, a call-signal: it's the sound of a genuine, mature and uncompromising poet hitting his proper level. Roy Fisher
