Recenzii

'Andrew Greig is a Scottish poet of sensitivity and resilience. He deals with high-risk situations - from mountaineering to love - and is particularly good at presenting the gamut of feelings involved in rites of passage: high endeavour, commitment, holding back, drift, release' - Edwin Morgan 'A writer of integrity and imaginative energy.' - TLS 'A lyric poet of rare gusto' - The Observer
