| THE FICKLE PENDULUM assays belief and doubt through three historical figures St. Thomas the Apostle, Galileo Galilei and Laura (Riding) Jackson and uses them to pivot into wider thematic worlds. The writing is thoughtful, exploratory and never weighed down by its subject matter, and the language vibrant and rich in metaphor. The reader ineluctably mixes Paul Scullys meditations with his or her own. |

If there are no easy answers here, there is nevertheless a sense, as Browning says, that ‘All our life is some form of religion.’ In verse that is measured and always thoughtful, Scully weighs the detail and delight of things against their difficult, confronting implications. – Martin Langford, author of Ground

A numinous gaze sequesters these apocrypha from history’s barbs and the traumatic coalitions of religion and empire. Yet there is clarity and grace in Scully’s poems and homages. A quiet harvester, he writes poignantly of the past, making words whisper and shine. – Michelle Cahill, Mascara Literary Review
