About Changes of Address:

"Philip Gross knows how to make silence and suggestion resonate. . . he touches an alien, intractable dimension. . . Gross's poems are about lost bearings and blurred frontiers. . . a landscape bereft of assured relationships, haunted by the just-missedness of human contact."
—Terry Eagleton, Independent on Sunday

"The harrowing and beautiful poems in which a father witnesses his daughter's near-fatal struggle with anorexia. . . These are elegies for the living, piercing in their clarity and depth of feeling."
—Helen Dunmore, on The Wasting Game
