"Harriet Tarlo is at the forefront of a group of poets who take writing about topography and nature seriously; she finds new ways to express in challenging and exciting language ideas and images that could be beyond language but aren't, in her very safe and skilful hands." -Ian McMillan
"An attentive poetry, bound alike by observation and ambition. A working poetry, of sketchbook and field diary, of moment and immediacy, rooted in the old-fashioned naturalist's knowledge of the names of flowers and birds. Equally a poetry of eco-conference, ready to deal in distance-evolutionary, digital. A poetry that thinks through time and place.
A poetry, often, of 'landscapes and people / on the same page': one that can touch the heart terribly quietly." -Gillian Allnutt
