"Poems full of life and promise."
Alison Brackenbury
"She explores a palpable contemporary world, tilting it to view its planes and angles. She is alert to the experience of exile and displacement, and ‘Departures 4.30 am’ is a necessary 21st century poem. Her writing is rhythmic, confident, the details telling. River Wolton is a poet to watch."
Moniza Alvi
"Her gift is to allow us to better understand the personal challenges of sadness, conflict and even fear, by considering the global urgencies of war, poverty and violence."
Rosie Shepperd, Magma
