Reviews

‘Matthews takes a great risk in setting the lavishly complex sonnets of Rilke, with their remote, mystical aestheticism, in a simple, almost child-like way. It is all too easy to limit and confine the range of such poetry, but the control and insight of Matthews’ response removed many doubts.’
