'A meditative tone pervades poems that are by turn meditative and narrative. His expressions of curiosity and delight in revelations of the natural world and the vagaries of human behaviour often surprise with the intensity of their insight and verbal invention. William Tibben is one of the most readable poets of our time. ' Michael Sharkey.
