Mollusc by Mark Totterdell Peter Riley harrowing and upliftingPoetry of this quality makes you wonder why Totterdell isnt better known within the mainstream of British poetry as Ive seen far lesser poems than this highly praised in the national press. His exploration of the relationship between people and his planets co inhabitants has something of the intellectual and emotional power to be found in Helen Macdonalds prize winning prose work, H is for HawkStimulating, erudite and unpretentious. Great stuff. Steve
