Extracts of some reviews of my Red Squirrel Press collection THIS SMALL PATCH
https://www.redsquirrelpress.com/product-page/this-small-patch-tom-kelly
‘The overall effect, though, remains uplifting: this is poetry as archaeology and conservation, an exegi monumentum not to the poet himself but to the community he’s part of, and all the better for that.’
TEARS IN THE FENCE
https://tearsinthefence.com/2020/07/02/this-small-patch-by-tom-kelly-red-squirrel-press/
‘Kelly has us look over our shoulders, he recalls us gently to memory of the terrible history that has brought us to where we are; he does so in hope that the same mistakes may not be repeated. ‘
MQB
‘Tom Kelly writes poems that are straightforward and about the people and the places he’s known all his life. The North-East is his “small patch” and its history and traditions loom large in just about everything he writes. If the term “regional writer” means anything it certainly applies to a writer like Kelly. You can see and smell and hear both the past and the present as you read the short, jabbing lines with their penny-plain words…’
