He is an observer a reporter who allows the reader the space to interpret – nothing is crammed down the throat – it can simply be read or for the more adventurous delved into to uncover the layers of meaning.” —John Mingay <em>Stride</em> (on <em>Some Times</em>)</p><p> </p><p>“The publication of Harry Guest’s Collected Poems (<em>A Puzzling Harvest</em> 2002) was something of a revelation … [It] revealed that he had gone on developing experimenting with forms shunning popularity performing very little but continuing to search – in civilised cadences with wit and genial authority – for a moral and spiritual centre.” —John Greening <em>Times Literary Supplement</em></p>
