Media Reviews
He writes a robust and finely tuned poetry, a poetry that is empathetic to the casual people that our confused society throws up Robert Garish, Lines Review: Campbell's resourceful craftsmanship and his ear for the authentic allow him to range confidently over a wide variety of forms and subjects. James Aitchison, Scotland on Sunday; I find many of Campbell's poems very pure, with a piercing sense of the 'lacrimal rerun' of which Vergil wrote. It is unusual nowadays to find such purity of tone. Iain Crichton Smith, The Scotsman
