'...if I can manage to portray one impression of Shelley and Benjamin, I hope it might be of the strength, value, and uniqueness of this remarkable book. It is one I know I shall return to again and again, for there are multiple ways it can inform my work as both a poet and an academic - particularly regarding the possibilities and limits of political writing (creative and critical) to confront thorny issues of our times. I recommend it most highly to all those involved in the same or similar pursuits and interests - and to all who relish thinking about words, language, life, death, love, violence, and the strange constellations sparkling between and beyond it all.' TEXT: Journal of writing and writing courses 'successfully weaves poetry, criticism, and philosophy together into a fabric of untranslatable residual meanings.' The Keats-Shelley Review
