‘The current pocket book series are handsome productions that do the quality of the poetry proud. James Walton, one of the best lyrical poets going around at the moment is, ironically enough, in a less lyrical mood for much of this book, tending toward the darker, knottier more jagged aspects of the human experience.
There is a great sense of history, of that fourth dimension to the human experience, that pervades this collection, and the “Cicero” poems are perhaps where Walton’s innate lyricism shines through best in the eyes of this reviewer. It is a powerful collection, and a lovely thing to be able to carry around in your pocket and open at random when the world before you appears a little too drab and washed out.’
Justin Lowe from a Bluepepper review – ‘The Kids are Alright’.
