The Tower

‘There is a seamlessness about these poems; the stitching doesn’t show. Egan brings the full range of poetic techniques to his work but they are largely invisible in the context of the whole. There were many times I had to pause while reading…often mid-poem sometimes to reflect on how they related to my own experiences sometimes to simply go back and relive the lucidity of the last few lines. These are poems which make us want to linger.’ – Garth Madsen
