Trade Review
"Cameron confesses to a weariness with poetry's old forms and old concerns, particularly the perennial Romantic subjects of love and exploration of the self. As a corrective he steers clear of personal topics, turning his presbyopic gaze outward in a sequence of poems that take in eco-vandalism, press barons, George W. Bush and death. One admires his determination to reject ... pretension and obscurantism." - The Sunday Herald "Cameron wants to inspire and galvanise, and it's a while since poetry was used in that public and declarative way." - Scottish Review of Books
