‘Here is a profound act of poetic, elegiac empathy, a love song to us all and to the earth we love, share and ravage. Formally versatile, musical, always precise, Maggie Butt offers us the long view, shining a light on history’s legacy and our common humanity. This is a mature, devastating and ultimately redemptive work, engaging with the best and worst of the human condition in poems both personal and universal.”

‘Everlove is a title to live up to but the poems in Maggie Butt’s sixth collection are everloving in that they demonstrate her enduring and empathetic concern with the human condition.’ ‘It is a collection I will return to. It is real, and human, and unflinching. I will try to remember its urging to live and love fully.’ Angela France
