In Secret gives versions of Ritsos's short lyric poems: brief, compressed narratives that are spare, though not scant. They possess an emotional resonance that is instinctively subversive: rooted in the quotidian but at the same time freighted with mystery. The poems are so pared-down, so distilled, that the story-fragments we are given - the scene- settings, the tiny psychodramas - have an irresistible potency. 'Harsent is one of those rare poets whose work commands attention outside the poetry world.' - Guardian
