Review of The Well at Winter Solstice in Poetry Wales

A review of The Well at Winter Solstice has been published in Poetry Wales 55.2. Anna Lewis offers an insightful and distinctive reading of the collection.

‘The passage is atmospheric enough to make the reader shiver, its slow syllables pre-empting the clock which, as it chimes the hours, seems in Rees’s phrasing to count the children’s sad, short lives down into the ground. Here the poetry is tender and affecting, while elsewhere the faceless apparitions Rees conjures can be truly chilling.’
