His language is, by turns, muscular, reflective, fearless, pastoral, sometimes almost whimsical in tone, and the poems do not shrink from confronting life's less palatable challenges.  Jeremy Page, Poet and Editor of The Frogmore Press



This poetry hovers at the meeting points of seemingly disparate lives, times and places... Here we glimpse the difference grace can bring, as we discover it in human form.  Heather Shakespeare, Poet and Writing for Wellbeing Facilitator



Lister displays self-awareness, flashes of cutting insight, and a playful imagination in this fine collection.  Tony Earnshaw, Poet, Novelist and Playwright



Each exploration leads us to images of unexpected grace, words resonant with redemption.  These are poems to return to many times.  Helen Overell, Poet
