Byrne's poetry sparkles with wit and irony, and Blood / Sugar is his long-awaited first collection. The editor of a highly-regarded poetry magazine, Byrne maintains great technical proficiency in his structuring of verse, moving effortlessly between the traditional and the innovative to shape poems that brim with lyricism and confidence.
‘James Byrneís second collection, Blood / Sugar is packed, ambitious and absorbing… The comparison that comes to mind is with Christopher Middleton, with whom Byrne shares a restless hunger.’
Sean O'Brien, Poetry Review
‘His poetry is clean, clear and contemporary; it cuts to the bone of the beast every time.’
Keith Richmond, Tribune
‘In Blood Sugar James Byrne's fine poems explore a variety of themes, combining light and shadow, tenderness and wit.’
Wayfarers
‘The way the Peruvian avant-gardist poet Cesar Vallejo described language as being the ëdark nebulae of life that dwells on the turn of a sentence…í can be applied here to the irrefutable poetics of James Byrne. For he has constructed a collection of poems of considerable imaginative pressure, a vice-like poetical ethos… poems of such exactitude and accuracy that it is almost as if Byrne is attempting to replicate and reconstruct his own jaw at the potterís wheel of his imagining… According to Geoffrey Hill, 'difficult poetry is the most democratic, because you are doing your audience the honour of supposing that they are intelligent human beings', and this can most definitely be said of the requirements of the reader facing these innovative poems.’
Paul Stubbs
