The Cloud Corporation by Brooklyn-based poet Timothy Donnelly, published here in October, has already caused a stir in the US. Here are some of the wonderful reviews it's already earned . . .

Omnivorous, fast-forward, bull-in-a-china-shop poems that deliver more beauty per minute than can comfortably be withstood . . . This is my favorite book of the year

Dan Chiasson

New Yorker

This is an extraordinary collection – the poetry of the future, here, today

John Ashbery

Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year

Dramatic tension, humor, lyrical profundity. This is an utterly ingenious and proudly inclusive voice . . . a sensibility so urgent we find ourselves momentarily re-inventing the term Poet
