Cuckoo
“Nichola Deane’s rich and sensuous poems may open with a plainspoken line or a recognisable surface, but they dwell only briefly in the familiar actual. Her syntax and image-making – both equally bold – bring the world to us in new and compelling guises. These are poems of darkness and delight – alive to sensation and feeling, and open to the urgency of beauty.” Katharine Towers
“Nichola Deane’s imagination has a long reach that pulls the unexpected into line after line. The language, clear yet idiosyncratic, and Deane’s deft touch give these poems ease, lightness and confidence.” Fiona Moore
Cuckoo is very sensory and very spacious.

‘I have arrived here with my suitcase, full of the sea wind.’
I bought this because I absolutely loved Deane’s poem ‘Cheek’ which was published in the Rialto.
This is a rather gentle, contemplative collection. Deane’s style definitely grew on me as I read and she has used some lovely imagery. Personally however, I found this collection lacked the gentle intimacy of 'Cheek'. Having said that I would definitely read Deane again in the future.
