Reviews

'He is interested in the humble epiphanies associated with weathered objects and places: he seizes on the apparently insignificant but his sensual expansions are religious in tone. Quietly Scott's poems look out beyond themselves.' - George Szirtes, Critical Quarterly

'Immaculate poems - full of gentle, contemplative intelligence and a tenacious modesty - scrupulous, affectionate' - John Mole, Encounter.

'David Scott writes poems plain as pleasure: a pleasure in perception of the world, a pleasure in being human - There is one poem in this fine collection that really lets all the weather in, the epic and panoptic "Skelling Michael: A Pilgrimage" - the terrors of faith are made real and electric but, importantly, they are made human.' - David Morley, PN Review.
