Trade Review
"'This is a profoundly rewarding book about poetry for the non-academic reader; hardly surprising when the author is the most brilliant reader of poetry of his generation.' (Harry Eyres, Financial Times) 'True Friendship... like all of Rick's books, is a book to be grateful for.' (London Review of Books) 'This is a fascinating, challenging, demanding, intently interior, almost forensic work... for those to whom poetry is more a way of life than a lifestyle, the real deal.' (Gerald Dawe, Irish Times)"
