Brooke’s first collection & the concept of zero was the best new
writing to come out of Wales in 2006. It’s funny, sad, exasperating,
with that certain swagger essential to the bearing of the committed writer,
that cocky co-operation with words and pride and suspicion in who he is and
what he can do and where he is from. Those of you who think that you don’t
like poetry, you might, very much, like this collection. Buy it. Take it to
a pub. Read it. You’ll be happy.Niall Griffiths
