"Keep it in the Family" by Marc Brightside

Extracts from reviews of "Keep it in the Family":

"Sensitive, compelling treatment of a tragic life…The poet zooms in intimately, strongly conveys childhood, its apartness from the comprehensions of the adult world, the pain of the passage of time, rather than its healing quality, but energy is retained throughout, and there’s no descent into sentimentality.”
- The Poetry Society
 
“Laconic, sharp, brutal and unsentimental, with an occasionally shocking sense of realism.”
- Julian Stannard
