"Bloodaxe Books has a ferocious reputation as a publisher of ground-breaking poetry."
The Sunday Times

"A list that exudes confidence and promotes the good name of poetry."
The Scotsman

"If Bloodaxe Books are spoken of, we'll expect
The reverent murmur of - Respect... Respect"
Adrian Mitchell

"The books have class and clout. Bloodaxe is an extremely important venture."
Melvyn Bragg

"Bloodaxe -
well-designed and committed books, though never comfortable to read. They answer Kafka's definition of what real literature should be: 'One should only read books which bite and sting one. If the book we are reading does not wake us up with a blow to the head, what's the point in reading? A book must be the axe which smashes the frozen sea within us'."
