| 'Swallow
hibernating in mud, a kite-flourishing batcatcher, a suitcase
full of parrots...Paul Bavister's poems are startingly imaginative.
But there is no whimsy here, just a passionate rethinking
of our relationship to the natural world. I read The
Prawn Season at a sitting, like a thriller, which
is exactly what it is.'
