Earth Air Fire Water ‘Another rich volume of Andrew Francis’ poetry, with its searing imagery and words creatively embedded into shapes on the page. As ever, the insights challenge, as his care for creation and the kind of community which he envisions, emerge in every poem.’ – Matt Fielden, poet & therapist, Northumbria
In Earth Air Fire Water “are clever, playful, poems, the reading of which dropped me at once into a deeper-thinking, memory-rich place in my mind. Andrew Francis writes of things I recognise, whether or not I’ve seen them, and always with a deep compassion and caring, for the ancient and metaphorical as much as for the present and utterly real. These poems resonate with intimate, loving thoughtfulness, delighting  equally in a handful of earth and the vast mystery of what grows therein.”  Talis, Singer-songwriter, Wiltshire
