Riassunto:

LIBRO

Recensione: It sometimes seems that contemporary poetry divides into two sorts - those poems that did not need to be written and those written out of necessity. Denise Riley belongs to the second category - her writing is perfectly weighted, justifies its existence. It is impossible not to want to "say something back" to each of her poems in recognition of their outstanding quality. Her voice is strong and beautiful - an imperative in itself . . . remarkable (Guardian)

Denise Riley's new collection Say Something Back is a moving reminder that she's one of the best poets around (Andrew Motion Guardian)

The best thing I've read in ages (Max Porter, author of Grief Is the Thing with Feathers )

Denise Riley’s Say Something Back shows how grief keeps a different clock and is a churning yet exhilarating (because the poems are so good) exploration of loss. Her poetry gets to the heart (Jackie Kay Guardian)

I have been a fan of Denise Riley’s for decades, and Say Something Back shows her working at her peak in a collection that is as rewarding as it is challenging (John Burnside Herald)
