“Claire Booker’s language consistently hits the mark. Be prepared for subtle shifts of meaning, for playfulness and seriousness mingling. Be prepared for the magical and quotidian interweaving." – Anna Avebury
“Later There Will Be Postcards holds the human drama at its heart. The poems are clear-eyed and elegant and bring how we relate to one another into memorable and sharp focus.” – Lisa Kelly
“There are no ‘filler’ poems here; this is a substantial pamphlet, the work of a mature poet, who knows when to wield her wit and when to let the gaps – the unsaid – say it.” – Hilaire
“Claire Booker’s range is considerable. Her skill is evident. And the sheer musicality of her work, exciting. The humour, startling imagery, compassion and musical tone convinces me she’s a genuinely original poet. An outstanding debut collection.” – Alan Price
“Claire Booker’s debut pamphlet shows great muscularity of language and a lovely play of wit.” – Robert Seatter
“A slow forge of hands created these poems – they are wholly human. Booker’s work ebbs with the modern mythic. Later There Will Be Postcards is an adept debut. – Grant Tabard
