Love Poems is what we have come to expect from Chris Manselląs writing: risky – technically and in terms of
subject matter – serious and comic. These are real love poems: Mansell speaks with an honest and elegant
tongue. Profoundly private and accessible, as the best love poems should be.
What critics said about previous books:
It grabs you and demands attention, not in a bullying kind of way, but through its relentless
energy, its shi"s of pace and tone, and the way it guts the easy corpse of the acceptable, letting
out the stench of honesty. Tim Thorne
Mortifications & Lies is an important book, both stylistica!y and thematica!y a groundbreaking
book. One emerges from the experience of reading it disturbed and challenged. Its
haunting rhythms do not easily let go. Margaret Bradstock
