“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

LOOKIN OUT MY BACK DOOR

Best pruners I've seen anywhere just whipped through the corner of Ironheart Shiraz I can see through my door ... man these cool folks are forensic and fast and laugh and joke and shout working in the rain ... photo Philip White ... that's my solid molychrome Archimedian screw gauge extruding through the lawn ... when the ironstone swells beneath, up she comes, like just a few turns ... pressure goes down, she retreats ... like a crust iron thermo calibrator ... yowies and the lambs love rubbing their necks on it, too.
