“A Bluebottle in Late October<\/em> is very particular and very human.” V.Press <\/strong><\/p>\n

“John Wheway\u2019s first full collection places its trust exactly where it should be: in the poetic present tense where every gnomic detail is magnified, every commonplace brought to its own species of transfiguration. At a time when the lyric is so much in need, he rejuvenates it in its most pellucid and most effortless form; the couplet is reshaped and crystallised, and comes to life. A Bluebottle in Late October is a memorable sequence of poems.\u201d Tim Liardet<\/strong> <\/p>\n

This is a funny, sad, yet uplifting account of how we live and love. Poems by a formidable poet, pulling no punches, yet with a delightful lightness of touch.Domestic bliss is here, with moments of tenderness and beauty, hopelessness too, and a deep urge to engage. How can we live together? Why do we need to? What compels us? These poems made me laugh out loud, though their acuity is sobering. We\u2019ll all glimpse ourselves in them. Marked by meticulous diction and vibrant imagery, this is poetry with an authentic voice.\u201d Neil Rollinson <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
