Book Synopsis
Uneasy nights out with dead Russian poets, dalliances with German gasfitters and emotionally fraught games of badminton are brought together for the first time, along with a brand new body of work, in this time-spanning selection of Anna Jackson's poetry. Local gothic, suburban pastoral and answerings-back to literary icons are all enhanced by Jackson's light hand and sly humour. Pastoral yet gritty, intellectual and witty, sweet but with stings in their tails, the poems and sequences collected in Pasture and Flock are essential reading for both long-term and new admirers of Jackson's slanted approach to lyric poetry.

Trade Review
I feel that I must start by mentioning the cover, its stark black and white trees and hens and just a tiny drop of red for the hen's combs, the title and the authors name. Very bold and very pleasing, rather like the poems themselves. - Marcus Hobson
