No skimping. In their quiet but fierce attention to  the unsung and the overlooked – paint splashes,  tea stains, silences – Philip Hancock’s poems reveal the histories and horizons of entire lives.

​

‘The great triumph of this collection is Hancock’s ability to see and relate to people many poets, politicians, managers would prefer to airbrush out of the picture.’
– Richie McCaffery, Wild Court (full review here)
