Praise for Taking the Long Way Home:
PRAISE FOR TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME:
'Steve Nash's life has been that of a wanderer, like a rolling stone or a troubadour. His poetry, with its welcome diversity of forms and subjects, leaves, to quote the Rock Poet's words in a fine poem about snow: 'footprints' that invite the reader to follow.'
- Debjani Chatterjee, MBE
'Whether weighty or whimsical, the poems that make up Steve Nash's first collection are finely tuned to the physicality of his world: the scuff of a match, a paperback pummelled into a pocket, the throb of iron-heavy blood. It is this tactile immediacy that keeps these crackling in the memory long after the book is closed.'
- Oz Hardwick
‘The rich returns of reading Steve Nash’s poetry are infinite - not only does the experience guarantee readers entertainment, thought-provoking questions and spiky humour, but his work will cause you to discover energising new ways to contemplate the world, and as a poet I have found myself taken aback at the radical techniques with which he writes, making Steve Nash’s poems somehow as innovative and stylistically instructive as they are enjoyable to the eye or ear.’
