Crawford knows when to be piano and when to ring out the forte... This is an exceptionally fine collection, and a model for how to nuance the stylistic shifts
Scotsman, praise for THE SCOTTISH AMBASSADOR
A thorough, solid sequel to Crawford's much-praised Young Eliot... This biography is going to play a large part in any future assessment of Eliot
Spectator, praise for ELIOT AFTER THE WASTE LAND
Crawford’s first collection in seven years is…ecological poetry of great intelligence and sensitivity
Guardian
Robert Crawford’s Old World is delightfully sprightly, given its awareness of transience… Although it has a serious theme…[it] is full of wit… Unlike much evanescent modern poetry, Crawford can deliver maximum re-readability in the smallest space
