Book Synopsis

Other poets'' comments about After the Fall

Cath Morris''s poems are resolutely anti-trendy. But the poetic trend today - linguistic virtuosity cut off from any lived reality - needs to be challenged. In After the Fall, alarming cries - "Stars for Sale!" - "Sometimes I feel like a motorless replicant" - break from a poetic vision where human love and nature itself seek to survive the depredations of the "technopath".

- George Stanley

"An engaging intelligence is at work in these poems, along with flashes of a kind of passion rarely seen these days."

- Jamie Reid

I have long been impressed by Cath Morris'' poems: by her range of moving themes and her imaginative use of imagery. She is a keen observer with a highly original take on the vagaries of the human condition. This striking cross-section of her work deserves an attentive audience.
