"He has the ferocity, indignation and bite of the old flytings, even the mad word-hoard of the Admirable Urquhart of Cromarty; a Scots Martial, but with the unabashed tenderness and exactitude of John Clare describing water lilies or Gerard in his Herbal ... A mentor, a bristling master, and a total original."
AUGUST KLEINZAHLER
