Dr Judy Kendall, Lecturer and Programme Leader for English and Creative Writing at the University of Salford, award-winning writer of poetry, short fiction and visual text.

This book provides a striking and original account of Edward Thomas's composition process, which is widened to become a meditation on the act of composition itself. It situates Thomas in a network of intellectual affiliations that help to transform our understanding of him as a strikingly innovative poet, contemporary with other more obviously Modernist poets; and it is written throughout in an accessible, evenly paced way that leads the reader to some nevertheless surprising and complex conclusions.
