 ken Up Dances the American poet and translator Forrest Gander has written 
 that reading Byrne’s poetry is ‘like gulping firewater shots of the wo
 rld’: The poet John Kinsella wrote: ‘James Byrne is a phenomenon and B
 lood/Sugar is astonishing…He is a complete original.’\n\nNiall McDevit
 t has written of The Caprices as ‘a collaboration\, an illuminated text\
 , a setting of Goya to music. The poetic response is a tour de force wit
 hin the constraints of form and yet it moves with a mercury dash’.\n\nht
