“…a poet of commanding presence, a phrase-maker who plunges with a light deep into our minds. But in his discovery of the natural world and a fitting language for it in Fire Diary, Tredinnick gives us a feeling of perception that still has the dew on it.”

—Robert Gray

Mark Tredinnick’s poetry is remarkable for the astute witness it bears to the beauty and vulnerability of the landscape and our place within it. These poems are full of vision and affirming wisdom—and a strong and graceful music.”
