'If, as has been said, Sant is "an important, innovative poet" with a "penetrating eye for the hidden geometries of meaning" it is because, whatever his subject, the vision it draws out of him is there to be his and the subject, like the insight, has come as naturally to him as leaves are to trees.' - Elizabeth Knottenbelt, Agenda

'Andrew Sant writes intellectually compelling and formally taut poems ... made possible when an exceptional facility with language collides with everyday subjects.' - Brian Henry, Poetry Nation Review

'Sant's accomplished, cosmopolitan style gains from repeated exposure. "Pleasure" has been a word much trivialised of late when talking about poetry, but Sant's poems provide that all-too-rare commodity.' - Nicholas Birns, Verse

'In what is now a significant body of work we should see Andrew Sant, in this new book, in its approachable eloquence and its formal and musical intelligence as, in his phrase, a new "passport into immersion". - Adam Phillips, The Guardian
