'The Paradoxophies begins with a firm foundation: the scaffold of literary form; the big questions. Like the winding path of constant evolution, Fitzgerald-Clarke and Landman step beyond these bare bones: moving from narrative to lyrical, they tease out meaning and unease in every quarter of their exploration of those fundamental mysteries that haunt us all.The rhythms of the poems, the sheer force of their content, and the beauty of the work - as well as its occasional arresting ugliness - allows the reader to move into the freedom of meaning, all the while keeping one foot firmly rooted in literary tradition.'
