Constantly inventive and unerringly precise, the poems in John Kellys debut collection reveal an author at home with both the standalone lyric and the longer, apparently improvisational pieces that contribute so much to this books extraordinary brio and style. The breadth of cultural reference is perhaps a given, but Kellys real achievement is to make sense of a sometimes teeming eld of vision. From the natural world to the troubled north of his youth, through encounters with art and its creators to poems that chart the seismic changes that come with love, fatherhood and loss, Notions is a book full of humour and play, wonder and woundedness.When you bow your head to the soloing thrush, lit like an old friends soul in the bones of a silver birch. from Winters Blessing
