Critics Review
Consolation is a rare quality in our tragic times, but sometimes poetry can provide a sanctuary. Bloodaxe Books, which often sets a creative pace in poetry publishing, offers “nourishing poems of hope and light” in its anthology Soul Feast. This gathers roughly 100 poets from many countries into an ambitious collection, edited by the Bloodaxe founder Neil Astley, and the artist, filmmaker, and translator Pamela Robertson-Pearce. Each poem feels chosen with intelligence and care: accessibility matches profundity. […] a searching anthology that is both elegy, and celebration.
– Martyn Halsall * Church Times *In the end, the proof of a Soul Feast has to be in the eating, and I’ve got to admit that, even for an old cynic like me, the whole experience of sitting down and partaking was actually, well… ‘nourishing’.
– Stuart Henson * London Grip *It [Soul Feast] would certainly make a perfect Christmas present for someone you’re fond of.
– Greg Freeman * Write Out Loud *About The Author
