‘To read Mike Greenacre’s poems is to be captivated in an engaging conversation about family, friends, Perth past and present, love, loss, memories and the maddening and intoxicating pursuit of poetry itself. Affection, love, passion infuse the whole of Nocturnal House by Mike Greenacre, as places, people, memories are called forth and shared with careful artistry and haunting nuances. Poetry is linked very tightly and movingly with life, with lived experience, in these arresting and beautiful poems.’ – Shane McCauley
