John Ormond: Collected Poems
"John Ormond's poems about people are infallibly accurate and compassionate under the surface of humour. His eye for detail is immensely zestful, he is technically adept and varied, and is prepared to try a different, more ambitious manner, and can bring it off. A poet full of individuality." - Alan Brownjohn 'the real thing...' - Dannie Abse
