‘James Lucas demonstrates compelling mastery of form, returning light and fire from each line the way a diamond disperses light from its internal facets. This is a poetry of rare wit, of linguistic fluorescence that few can match.’ Judith Beveridge

‘craft refined to an impressive fluency and polish, reminding us of the ways in which poetic forms - both conventional and experimental, tight and loose - can offer a structure in which a poet might explore, push at the edges, move off into uncharted territory.’ ABR, August 2021
