‘I’m interested in writing that combines imagination and
craft to create something that need not be highly ‘polished’,
but which shows an artisan’s humility alongside that
spontaneous engagement with the work of making that
rests securely upon the awareness of what Ezra Pound
called ‘a live tradition’ – not as a set of limits, but as an
invitation to explore, to make new and, most of all, to
extend the musical possibilities of language.’ —John Burnside
