The quality of Martin Stokes's poetry is in its strangeness, and in the way seemingly straightforward pieces fail to add up. -- Simon Armitage
A confident, substantial and wide-ranging collection, with an air of exhilaration in the indulgence of impressive formal gifts. Appropriately for a poet, Stokes is drunk on words, a stylist and an experimenter. He is definitely one to watch. -- Robert Johnstone * Times Educational Supplement *

Martin Stokes was born in 1958 in Mansfield, and lives in Chester. He won a Gregory Award in 1983, and his first collection, The First Death of Venice, was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation in 1987.
