Reviews of Wreckage

“Griffiths evokes a rigorous lyricism; his continuing explorations of natural and human brutality also call to mind the poetry of Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal

“[An] intensely lyrical tale of ruined lives…wry humor crackling character studies, and achingly poetic ruminations on the tough ways of a world in which ‘only friction burns on your face froma the speed of the passing air because that’s how fast you fall.’”—Booklist

“Exuberant wordplay enacts a dynamic of conflict…A tragicomic lament for the generations of rejects and hopefuls who fetched up in the erstwhile ‘muddy pool’ of Liverpool.”—The Guardian
