Tallack is forever testing the psychological dynamics of the sense of belonging.
Nature
Tallack writes with such tenderness for his characters and quiet awe for the patch of earth he places them upon.
Sara Baume
The real deal, a writer given over to ... that most precious of gifts, an unselfconscious sense of wonder.
John Burnside
The book's real power comes from Tallack’s poet’s eye.
