Advance Praise

‘Alex Wharton has put together a gorgeous collection with Red Sky at Night, Poet’s Delight. He has a great feel for language and his poems chime and sing from the page. The real treasure in this book is the close ties that bind it to the natural world, delighting in gardens and countryside, animals and plants, weather and wonder, nowhere more so than in the brilliant long poem telling the years in the voice of an oak tree on a distant hill. A notebook full of observations, with really heart-enchanting and poem-enhancing illustrations from Ian Morris.’ AF Harrold
