The Justice of the Night

This sixth collection of poems by Glen Cavaliero is perhaps a little darker in tone than his previous volumes. Peter Scupham said of Ancestral Haunt in PN Review that it was 'Formally adroit, various in tone, this collection is quite unconcerned with the skin-deep.' This applies no less to The Justice of the Night which covers a wide range of subjects in a variety of poetic styles and methodologies. In the words of Glyn Pursglove, he is 'a poet with much to offer. . . Very well worth getting to know.'

'Like Geoffrey Hill, Cavaliero evades statement, suggests and then withdraws behind the glittering surface of the poem. Nevertheless the poems can be read as exploring the possibility of transcendence, in a time and place when all the old coats are worn out.' Janet McCann, The Powys Journal.
