Praise for The Blue Hour:

It would be too simplistic to call James Lilley’s debut poetry collection hard-hitting, because it’s so much more than that. Tackling a range of themes from modern-day masculinity, relationships - as a father, a lov- er, a fighter and a friend - and the internal fight against depression and addiction, Lilley's words pack an emotional gut-punch. One that will stay with you long into the Blue Hour itself.

--- J.P Seabright, author and assistant editor of Full House Literary Magazine.


James Lilley writes with brutal honesty and stunning simplicity about lives caught between day and night. With The Blue Hour, he has emerged as one of our most arresting new poets.

--- Max Thrax, author of Gods Is A Killer


James Lilley's debut collection is a true accomplishment from the very first page. From within Lilley’s deeply considered contemplations, Blue Hour becomes steeped in meaning as much as the title itself. A period where the shades of dawn form a junction with the conclusion of twilight, Blue Hour illustrates how even the most beautiful can cut the heart with darkness and melancholy. Lilley has championed a truly heroic and honest account of the bleakness we face as humans, the expectations of masculinity, the folly of our humanness, and gently offers a softness that shows that even the darkest of nights can be met with the possibility of a new day.

--- Amy-Jean Muller, Artist and Author of Baptism By Fire


In this collection of short and punchy poems, Lilley mixes the beauty of Welsh scenery and the comfort of a bedroom at dawn with the bru- tality of a world full of regret, loss, crime and addiction. James Lilley’s vision of the world is at the same time gaunt and colorful, soft and harsh; he finds beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty and lays it all on a mesmerizing canvas: rips and tears and blood drops on a delicate pastel landscape.


--- B F Jones, author of The Only Sounds Left and Artifice




A very powerful and honest collect of Punk poetry at its finest. Lilley speaks from the heart and writes off the cuff brining his personal ex- periences to life straight off the page.

A gritty mixture of crime, addiction, mental health and love, The Blue
Hour captivates from the very first line.

Lilley has the ability to capture heart-felt moments, personal tragedy and survival in such a devastating way. It will certainly get you in the gut as well as the heart.

--- Wayne Jermin, author of Hang The Sad Pictures
