‘William Bedford’s reminiscences of his Yorkshire childhood and forebears in some ways recall Geoffrey Hill’sMercian Hymns. Bedford’s sequence, however, is in no way derivative, and its vignettes in unrhymed sonnets are vivid and poignant . . . the sequence shows a fine, novelistic selection of detail . . . Bedford records it all with reticent compassion and makes the lives of these previous generations as rich as any mythology.’ -Grevel Lindop, The Warwick Review
