"You could study an Ordnance Survey map of the route or you could make annotations concerning Dickens association with Chatham and many other points, but Smiths skill in assimilation will always be ahead of you, partly because it assimilates ruthlessly to his own present tense, and partly because total assimilation is refused in favour of sheer presence. Peter Riley, The Fortnightly Review"The Waste Land may have been smoothed to automatic for the iPad, but Simon Smiths Gravesend makes the SouthEast coast of Dickens and Conrad a place worth missing connections again. All the digital landfill of one London poets life is here, not to mention a bookstopping tribute to Cy Twombly. Line by line, Smith is one of the most exciting poet writing in England if it werent for the sweet Thames and the Little Chefs, he might pass for an American." Jeremy NoelTod
