“the Elizabeth David of British Poetry”
JOHN WILKINSON
“the most gifted poet using the English language…to come out of Wales since the Second World War”
ANDREW DUNCAN
“John James is an extremely enjoyable and charismatic poet. His work is like a vigorous breath of fresh air, full of variety, humour and surprise. It has a strong sense of lyricism and energy, a striking mixture of the experimental and the immediate that brings to mind the work of Mayakovsky or the New York poets of the 1950s and 60s…At his best he can sustain the kind of lyric flight that places him firmly in the tradition of the Coleridge of the “Conversation Poems” and the Wordsworth of the Two-Part Prelude…he is probably the most approachable of the experimental poets who, since the late 60s, have been associated with the idea of a Cambridge school. His directness and charm, his sense that experimentation can have both an urgency and a lightness of touch are very much to the fore throughout his work.”
