“The tug of history steers these poems into view. Poems of this order not only provide an aesthetic pleasure - Stella Davis is rigorous, a precisionist - these personal histories become part of a wider history. Knowing, lyrical, meticulous, delightful, these are poems to savour and admire; to come back to and read again.” - Julian Stannard, Reader in English and Creative Writing, University of Winchester

“I don’t often come across a collection that includes so many poems that make me exclaim, ‘Yes!’” – Wendy Cope, reviewing Last Boat to Avalon (2009, Peterloo Poets) by Stella Davis
