What I love about Jeremy Overs amazing writing is that everything, and I mean everything, seems to be available for him to work with and shape into memorable, challenging, and ultimately very human narratives, abstractions, meetings and diversions. Nobody else writes like him. Ian McMillan
A beautifully orchestrated hot-stepping set of riffs between the poet and the world... Jeremy Overs Fourth and Walnut makes you want to stand up and read portions out to passersby, just for the sheer joy of what he brings to the speaking mind. Sampurna Chattarji
Fourth & Walnut takes in minimalism, citation, erasure, drawing, linguistics and philosophy to create a book of gentle profundity and quiet magic. Under its spell, the question isnt why monk and mystic Thomas Merton and TV weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker appear in the same poem, but why they havent before. Over discusses the rhinoceros as a symbol of surprise. After reading his poems, it would take more than a rhinoceros to surprise me, although I would be worried about the linoleum. Tom Jenks
