Graeme Webster has an acute eye for seemingly small but significant moments. Skinning Time is rich with sharply drawn poems; on cruelties and tenderness, on prejudice and insight. Webster is definitely a writer to watch.' - Steve Evans 'Compelling and at time deeply moving poems … the poet's handling of pastoral description, country life, work and characters is very accomplished. I was reminded time and again reading some of these poems of the comparison and parallels with some of the best of Judith Wright's work and the Irish poet Seamus Heaney.' - Jeff Guess
