1 and
2: Two Micro-reviews on Bluesky (the online place to be):
Ian McMillan on Bluesky praised the book: ‘So good to experience this meeting of poetry and photography by @robertsheppard.bsky.social and Trev Eales from the always exciting Knives Forks and Spoons Press. “A crackle of purple twiglets/against ice-blue mountains, blue clouds:”’
Sean
Street on Bluesky wrote:' This sumptuous book of poems and photographs by
@robertsheppard.bsky.social & Trev Eales has many strata & is a
beautiful, rich, moving testament to the marks human life makes on landscape.'

I’m pleased that Will Smith caught up with the book (which he also stocks in hos bookshop, Sam Reade’s in Grasmere, Cumbria) and wrote this for the November issue of Cumbria Life:

Alan Baker in Litter gives the images a good looking and the text a fine
reading:
Review
- "Holme Fell" by Trev Eales and Robert Sheppard | Litter
He
concludes: ‘Both the photographs and the text in this book operate on multiple
levels, celebrating the beauty of the landscape as well as its harsh realities
and those of the men and women who worked in it over the years. And it’s a
lovely object, clearly a labour of love by the authors and their publisher.’
AND, I’d add, it’d make an excellent Christmas present for a relative or
friend.
