Reviews: With respect to keinc (Cinnamon Press, 2010)

"…a genuine exploration of what it means to write in a bilingual context. Welsh is not used as a decorative peppering in his work… Instead, it forms part of an understanding of place as composed of multiple linguistic trajectories. Trimble’s work is intersecting here with some urgent contemporary issues. This is risk-taking work from a young and still-developing writer that suggests some exciting new directions for poetry in Wales while responding thoughtfully to the past…"
