Here's what they're saying about it :

"...and oh yes! The words of this exciting new poet REALLY do sing! erbacce-press is proud to add this brilliant collection to our stock and it's a bargain at £3.99"

"Quayle gives the reader confidence – each poem is different in style, a style devised and entirely appropriate for its subject. The poems stand, not as autobiography, but as well-made objects in their own right. Though certainly autobiographical experience is there. A poem about her daughter leaving home is as touching as any I have read, or could imagine. Equally, a poem about someone else’s termination is as vivid and as moving as I can bear. Her imagery is always fresh and striking, whether to do with nature or cooking – “the black and silver / running stitch of trout-fry.” The title poem is as strong as anything in Hughes’ Moortown, about the physical realities of sheep farming: an old ewe’s teeth are “yellow stubs / emerging from her worn out jaw like insect grubs.” This poet can hurt you, hit you below the belt."
Nicholas Bielby (Pennine Platform 66, Nov. 2009).

"...Keep an eye out for Lesley Quayle's fantastic new chapbook, Songs for Lesser Gods (erbacce Press).  This is a poignant and, at times, desperately moving look at the natural world and our engagement with it..." 
Sarah Jackson, Poetry Editor, The New Writer.

"A poet ‘of the land’. Many of the poems lean very much on the world of the farm and weathers for its imagery and are very effective in relationship to human feeling and aspirations.........

.......It is natural that this poet has a much wider vision than those that I have touched upon in the foregoing and I think this 36 page booklet gives so much for the asking price of £3.99. The price certainly does not undervalue this poet. Surely a selected or collected book must be due?"
Martin Holroyd Editor Poetry Monthly (Oct 2009).

‘…an accomplished stylist. Her poems are dramatic and visual, shot through with bold images and surprise similes. There is at times something raw and visceral about them. She writes with flair and is blessed with a voice she can truly call her own…’
