Gillian Clarke wrote of Perfect Timing, ‘Observing an urban world, human and animal, these poems pleasingly mark in word-music the juncture between the said and the unsaid.’

 

Katrina Naomi wrote, ‘Playful, sensitive and imaginative. Christopher Horton’s many voices are equally at home in the city and the wilds. Perfect Timing surprises us with what often goes unnoticed.’

 

Jonathan Edwards wrote, ‘These are accessible, wry, imaginative and above all moving poems, which give illuminating new views on a range of subjects, including the city, work and relationships. If the poem ‘Members Only’ explores a social networking group who like to sit at the front of trains and pretend they’re driving it can be said that the poems of this pamphlet are the real thing in the hands of an expert pilot, who makes all the right moves, with absolutely perfect timing.’
