"Helen Moore not only has her own distinctive voice, she has also marked out her own territory, a territory at once local and universal. You could say she has globalised the local or rather localised the global, for her concern is nothing less than our mental and physical sanity, our survival in a dark time. ... This troubling and troubled book is instinct with life. 'Poetry and hope are one', writes Yves Bonnefoy. Helen Moore: keep on writing poems, keep hope alive " (Anthony Rudolf)
