“I felt the pulse, certainly; the life, breath, exposure of nerve ends”
- Iain Sinclair

“Sarer Scotthorne’s meticulously documented psychodramas suggest there is no crevice of the human heart and mind that should not be visited. If you ever doubted the meaning of artistic courage, read these poems.”
- Tim Liardet
