The small manoeuvresPaperback, 14 April 2022

Pimlott is my favourite flâneuse, conjuring place like no one else, with an immaculate eye for the juicy, telling detail. In these clear-sighted poems she confronts aging and lockdowns, both bringing a world: 'wilder and straitened / like the bins.' I love Pimlott's cast of memorable characters; her tinder-dry wit; her hard-won knowledge that: 'what matters now is grace on a wire, enough sleep.' - Clare Pollard
