“Poems like waterfalls, sparkling, but with dangerous currents”

⁃ Caroline Bird https://www.carolinebird.co.uk/

“The power of Deborah Finding’s verse is in the wide and dazzling spectrum of its modes. Always mindful and heartfelt, it ranges from the sharply political to the bleakly comic, through resonant urban anthems, sardonic turns, and white-hot fury at the smug squalor of contemporary male English authority. Finding is original, subtle and hugely engaging, a welcome and timely new voice.”
