is similar to that of her slightly older contemporary Lavinia Greenlaw, but possesses less of that quality once memorably described by Andrew Motion as combining "an excited way of seeing with a calm way of thinking". Where Greenlaw's work possesses the unmistakable erotic charge of strong poetry, Bryce's is for the most part flatter, on occasion almost affectless. Or perhaps it is more correct to say that Bryce's work yields its significance a little less readily.
