In Throatbone, Maddrell asks us to consider the way memory, home, history and empire confer to shape our understanding of one another. Poems which at times stretch and contort to subtly lead us back into the way of the personal through anecdote, imagery and acute revelations. Anthony Anaxagorou, Publisher, Out-Spoken Press & Author, After the Formalities. ... these are earthy poems, in touch with the flora and fauna of the Isle of Man. ButThroatbonedoes more than evoke a place ... Theresult is poems full of "old battle burns", but tender and hopeful nonetheless. Will Harris, Author of RENDANG. Deeply personal, often painful, Maddrell's poems evoke a vivid landscape in new and challenging forms. The effect of this multi-layered work is both beautiful and disconcerting. Annie Kissack, Fifth Manx Bard.
