‘Vaughan is something of a master of the use of line, brilliantly playing his long and languorous sentences against line breaks and enjambments … It’s [the] physicality to the language that really makes Vaughan’s work sing: there’s a sense of a life lived here, of a world observed and rendered in palpable terms in a usable and versatile language.’ – Simon Turner, Under the Radar
