Comments on the author’s work:

Two Essex Poets (with Frederic Vanson)

Brentham Press.

‘Linford is a man with a notebook out in the landscape of Essex….. I thoroughly enjoyed all of his poems and look forward to his next collection. Two Essex Poets is definitely a book to treasure.’

Angela Topping – ORE.

Talking to the Bees – Brentham press.

‘I think it rather remarkable that, given the quality of the work, you have not yet found a publisher. I should imagine that one of the other smaller presses or indeed one of the larger commercial houses will, in the near future, succumb to your work. I certainly hope so.’

Michael Schmidt – Carcanet: 1992.

Autumn Manuscript – The Littoral Press.

‘Linford is a craftsman of the finest sort. He carves meaning and metaphor, observation and emotion, into dynamic shapes – leaving no unpolished images.’

Hilary Mellon – SOL.

The Beatitudes of Silence – The Littoral Press.

‘There are some lovely and fully achieved poems here.’

Harry Chambers – Peterloo Poets.
