Ben Ray

What I heard on the Last Cassette Player in the World

“A fresh and original poetic voice – full of wit, twists, surprises,

echoes and challenges.”

Alan Rusbridger

“Ben Ray’s new poems have the gleam and muscle of the river fish he writes about with such feeling. They are story-telling, risk-taking and exact in all the right ways.”

Professor Fiona Sampson MBE FRSL

“Playful but profound, poignant yet humorous, vibrantly experimental and singing with lyricism, Ben’s new collection is intoxicating.”

  Anna Saunders
