An Arbitrary Light Bulb

The most original poet of his generationCarol Ann Duffy, Guardian

Duhig telescopes topical allusions, scholarly references and coarse humour into tightly-shaped, surreal poems which burst open with explosive moral forceAlan Brownjohn, The Sunday Times

His poetry is learned, rude, elegant, sly and funny, mixing gilded images, belly-laughs and esoteric lore about language (including Irish), art, history, politics and children's word-gamesRuth Padel, The Independent on Sunday

. . .one of Duhig's charms is that, for all his learning, he retains humilityKathryn Gray, Magma Review
