"Such is the beauty of Music For Broken Instruments: poems sit within poems, which crouch within poems, devouring poems. Ambitious, perhaps, for a writer who has not previously published much poetic work, but for the most part Patric’s grasp is as strong as his reach."
Maxine Beneba Clarke
"Music for Broken Instruments is absorbing with its filaments of churning lullabies all prime and lucid thread amongst the many poetic harmonics. Byron wrote, 'Music arose with its voluptuous swell', an apt description of the poems within."
