About Precarious:

"Lyrical lamentations that illuminate the reality of the disenfranchised in bold, abrasive strokes and tender undertones. It provides a stark critical exploration of masculinity often shaped around the vernacular voice of history and place. Poignant yet powerful, tempered with dry wit and understated humour."
—Malika Booker

"This is unmistakably stirring poetry from a poet with a restive imagination and an appetite to play with form."
—Mona Arshi

"A set of rollicking dispatches from a Britain rarely ever heard from except in the disparaging tones of others. Peter Raynard details the toll this exacts on all of us with a rare, almost brutal frankness."
—Rishi Dastidar
