‘An outstanding collection with grief at its core - a great sweeping arc of grief, which stretches across a lifetime, taking in losses from multiple bereavements to the experience of mothering and being mothered. The experience of loss is explored with unusual fluidity, depth and dexterity: its hard truths and complexities are present throughout, but so are its moments of astounding beauty. In portraying the particularity of her grief with such insight and skill, Julia Webb has created a collection of universal relevance. A gift of a book.’ -- Clare Shaw 'I hadn’t finished even a first reading of Julia Webb’s Grey Time when I realised these deft, moving poems would linger with me for years to come. The central sequence is haunting and unforgettable.' -- Carrie Etter 'Death is encountered everywhere in this collection that maps the journey of the one left behind - the one who must go on living. These formally assured poems travel seamlessly between the mundane and the surreal, charting with painstaking precision the shocks, complications and processes of love and grief. Courageous, visceral and immersive.’ -- Jacqueline Saphra
