Karl Miller, F.R.S.L. (Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature)….
….,writing in the highly prestigious Scottish Review of Books, quotes Eddie’s poem ‘Court Jester’…
What is it going to look
Like in forty years from now?
The pain, the fear from
day to day. Waiting for
the letter that never comes.
He sits there dropping poets’
Names until one becomes drunk and cannot hear
Or see. Will someone rid me
of this pest that lingers in our midst?
O Christ take away this painful fool…
Miller, a distinguished literary editor and academic, who first sprang to fame as a schoolboy-egghead on B.B.C. Steam Radio’s Top of the Form….
…..and I’m not making this up…..
……comments on this poem…
God is one of those editors whose judgement can be suspect and who doesn’t always do that you want. But I’d like to think that this moving account of the literary life is already up there in his library awaiting it’s author…[sic]
Sebastian Barker, F.R.S.L. (Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature)….
….writing in the equally prestigious Sofia poetry magazine, states….
We do not often get genuine nuggets of poetry placed in our hands, but we do with this book. The simplicity of conception I mentioned is not to be construed as as naivety or lack of depth. Such simplicity is one of the hardest things to achieve in the arts. It is akin to the simplicity of being struck by the arrows of adult love. But with Eddie Linden [Fellow of The Shakespeare Code] this is the love of God, of man, and of individual poems. That this love also embraces a wide and thorough grasp of life in the ecclesiastical and political arenas is simply one more credit to this wholly exceptional man…
Barker is a poet and editor in his own right and has written a biography of Eddie, Who is Eddie Linden…
