'The lineation speeds along at a nice articulated pace, the Dantesque pitch is right and propulsive, the cast of villains is energising, the balance between language and lingo, the allusive and the obscene just right... Berrigan the perfect shambling guide...' - Seamus Heaney on Terry's Dante's Inferno 'It is brilliant... the pattern and rhythm very forceful and the lingo just stunning.' - Marina Warner on Terry's Dante's Inferno “These surprising and intriguing poems offer new ways of seeing overlooked places; of reading landscapes too often dismissed as illegible. Tonally adventurous, formally radical, sometimes witty, sometimes melancholically beautiful, they stand at a convergence of nature writing and experimental poetics.” - Robert Macfarlane “Though Terry’s ‘I’ is all but absent, his eye is keen throughout, seizing on significant details of his wanderings around estuaries, around the old Berlin Wall, and finally along the digressive paths followed by W.G. Sebald through Suffolk in The Rings of Saturn. En route, Terry’s precise…selection of language – sampled from the vocabularies of biology, geography and history, among other disciplines – offer hints and glimpses and conjectures about the ways in which these three modern landscapes have been shaped by their past and present inhabitants and vice versa. There is no overt editorialising, but rather a pervasive air of pensiveness that invites many re-readings. These are poems of high ambition and integrity, and there is nothing else in the English language quite like them.” - Kevin Jackson
