From particular moments and precise images she brings the world alive to celebrate the continuity of both family and place.<\/p>\n “It is a lifelong brushing with people who have known and worked the Lincolnshire land that is at the heart of Lynda Plater\u2019s accomplished new collection. Her feel for a touching phrase, her ability both to show and tell, and (not least) her sincerity ensure that this pamphlet, while standing as a unique tribute to her family, will stir the emotions and admiration of those who read it.” \u00a0Robert Etty, The High Window<\/p>\n “Imagine poems that are sophisticated, well-honed and somewhat daring in their use of words and syntax, with no trace of metropolitan slickness\u2026an unusual pamphlet-length book which deserves to be on our shelves for her insight into different kinds of austerity and the reverential way she looks at day-to-day tasks and sacrifices”.
