“Greenlaw manages both to show the
unimportance of human feeling in this setting
and to make its intensity present.
Her
studies of colour, light, water, ice and
distance are fascinating...”
Sean O’Brien, Sunday Times
“ ... the bleakness in her memories
and seascapes comes across less as an eccentric
extreme than as the way the world really
moves, or rather the way it does not move,
blue and static in its shining ice.”
Stephen
Burt, TLS
“ ... the sensuous of her thought
and her ability to move between the abstract
and the precisely observed remain as potent
as ever.”
William Wotton, The Guardian
