Reviews

Burning Stones was reviewed by Ian McBryde in the 2005/2006 Summer edition of Art Streams.

"James Waller’s ‘Burning Stones’ grabs you from the first page...there is a terseness and an efficiency of language that make these poems effortless to engage with. Also a first book, ‘Burning Stones’ is seriously accomplished, and possesses an elegance and compression of language, deftly delivered."
