Paul Maddern
Maddern's way has beautiful smooth surfaces beneath which, occasionally, we glimpse stronger disruptive forces. (Justin Quinn)
​
sophisticated, witty, exuberant, confident, edgy (Tara Bergin, on The Tipping Line)
Paul Maddern has a sense both of the necessary rhythms of a poem – something that looks right to the eye and sounds right on the ear – and also of poetry’s conscience. There is technique here, there is insight, there is passion, knowledge, zeal. Every facet gleams. (Ian Sansom)
