Praise for 'Suit of Lights' - author's first individual collection of poetry 'a succession of well-observed, witty, sparely written poems, satisfyingly visceral, and unsentimental.' - (Alice Kavounas, Poetry Review] "The attention to structure, the sparing use of words - Davies' poems are carefully constructed, clever edifices - and well worth a perusal." - Ambit 'The diction pulses with the power of different registers and the accompanying emotional gear-changes are psychologically satisfying.
