Thanks for this very interesting analysis, especially regarding the effects of the consonants used. Good for helping fearful poets, to allow themselves to stop weeding out their own eccentricities.
Really enjoyed your thoughtful discussion of Allnutt's poetry! I haven't read much of her work, but now I really want to, as the way that she uses sound appeals a lot to me and both hearkens back to tradition while feeling new & fresh.
Tremendous review of a tremendous poet.
Very glad to read this excellent overview. I loved Lode.
I’ve only just come to Allnutt’s work. This illuminates her art superbly! Thank you.

I'm about to read Lode, so am very grateful for this illuminating piece. I love Gillian Allnutt's work.

Wonderfully perceptive and helpful in understanding Allnutt’s poetry which I, admittedly, I’ve wanted to admire but found beyond me. So many thanks.
I've read Lode recently and this added even more to it.
What an observant, detailed, sensitive review of a poet whose work I admire so much! Well done Nell.
Auntie poetry,, written before the first sherry after a bout of furious crochet. IIt wants to say so much. The best bits are the gaps.
