‘One exits so many slim volumes with slim pickings. Then there are those books of poetry which seem fuller than fiction. Geoff Cochrane's Vanilla Wine is a whole world, rendered in lines at once compressed and open, mysterious and approachable. These are poems of great formal poise and terrific candour. But here's the test. Turn to the last poem in the book. Read it. Now buy the book.’
