Sea of Hooks is a novel structured to reflect the interweaving of the two worlds inhabited by its main character, Christopher Westall. Christopher holds the spheres of ordinary days and weeks in precarious balance with the shifting field, of images and voices, that lies behind it. A series of traumas shatters this balance and propels him toward great danger but, also, the possibility of spiritual revelation.
"Sea of Hooks is brilliant...it's a novel that proves that the complexities of one young man’s daily life, his preoccupations and his nightmares, and above all, his compassion, can be extraordinarily fascinating, suspenseful, and revelatory."

"Lindsay Hill creates an existential drama of loss and recovery, isolation and agora, reminiscent of Kobo Abe's powerful novel The Woman in the Dunes. The considerable beauty of the work is achieved not through rhetorical striving but by quietly establishing the precision of the case: 'She has never / stood so close / to anything / as she is / to that / which the sand / takes.' The tone and rhythm of the work are perfect, as sand, woman, and city drift into each other"

“Lindsay Hill has written the epic of a society based on deferred payment and delayed gratification. Contango traces our compromised relation to utopia, but in its often hilarious juxtapostions of deadpan clauses and phrases, the poem offers an alternative future in which to say ”this is true” becomes the truth.”
