Blindside

Blindside, Mark Reid's fifth collection, exhibits his accustomed minimalist rigour, a spare and allusive lyric, contemporary, colloquial, committed, seeking the sublime in the everyday.

'Mark Reid's poetry has always delighted and challenged me. His distinctive voice and finely-tuned ear for just the right music has given his work a potency that's been hard-won. Reid is a craftsman.' - Anthony Lawrence

'Reid's is a brooding art, open to epiphany, constructing it, but also measuring its constant retreat.' - Lyn McCredden
