Powerful and haunting work  Dave Cunliffe, Global Tapestry Journal

The Stranger is worth getting hold of – it has a punch and solidity all too rare in British writing of this genre…  K.M. Dersley

Highly imaginative, the poems are also strangely disturbing… Ron Woollard, New Hope International Online

Ian Seed’s work has a surreal edge. His writings alternate between free verse and short paragraphs of poetic prose, and a pleasing cadence is maintained throughout, heightened by alliterative euphony in his careful choice of words. …there is much here to stimulate repeated study of this poet’s work.” Bernard M. Jackson, Poetry Monthly

… devastatingly effective… Andy Robson, Krax

… powerful imagery without being overbearing. I never quite knew if the next poem was going to sneak up on me and kiss me gently or lunge sharply between the ribs with a loving brutality.  Henry Birtley, Poetry Express

Review of Extracts from The Wire Along Which Voices Sing
The stories in Square Cuts are taken from a larger collection, The Wire Along Which Voices Sing

These fragments of lives are by turns warm, dark, unsettling and fleeting, but always compulsive, demanding re-reading, and again. The lyrical quality and wrought imagery create bridges across the unsaid and spaces within the stories that bind and unleash their characters.
Sarah Hymas, Flax Books
