“Will appeal strongly to readers already haunted by the deeper, more sombre musics of Middle-earth” The Times
“This is the most unexpected of Tolkien’s many posthumous publications; his son’s ‘Commentary’ is a model of informed accessibility; the poems stand comparison with their Eddic models, and there is little poetry in the world like those” Times Literary Supplement
“The compact verse form is ideally suited to describing impact… elsewhere it achieves a stark beauty” Telegraph
