“Hobday reveals the concrete frame… the presence of History (that overwhelming Time), often drawing tools and language from the world of news, of technique; whereas Nettleingham plays the antagonist to any comfortable History.” – Federico Federici
“This work by Nettleingham and Hobday shows how the poetic word can happily detach from ‘high’ Literature, without losing aesthetic rigor… to make common cause with other struggles, in which it recognizes its framework and to which it offers, without rhetoric, the living force of a voice.” – Sara Veltroni
“These two fine poets argue and discuss issues by unleashing whole poems at each other.” – Sentinel Literary Quarterly
