Each is meant to be read within 20 seconds, the amount of time it would take for a match to be lit and burn out. The second, Becoming of Age, contains 14 titled poems, with the third, Reading the Banns, containing a collection of untitled poems based upon a wedding theme. Critical reception for Book of Matches was mostly positive,[3] Ronald Carter calling it Armitage's "most distinctive volume".[4] The Independent stated that it was a "fine collection" and noted that Armitage's persona had changed in the collection's tone.[5] References1. ^{{cite journal|last=Mcguiness|first=Daniel|title=Book of Matches|journal=The Antioch Review|date=Winter 1995|volume=53|issue=1|page=120|url=http://search.library.vcu.edu/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?frbrVersion=3&tabs=detailsTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=TN_gale_litrc16737657&indx=1&recIds=TN_gale_litrc16737657&recIdxs=0&elementId=0&renderMode=poppedOut&displayMode=full&frbrVersion=3&dscnt=2&fromLogin=true&dstmp=1360734960183&vl(freeText0)=%22Book+of+Matches%22+Simon+Armitage&vid=VCU|accessdate=13 February 2013|doi=10.2307/4613107}} {{Template:Simon Armitage}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Book Of Matches}}{{poetry-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Simon Armitage - study guide|url=http://www.teachit.co.uk/armoore/anthology/simonarmitage.htm|publisher=Teach It|accessdate=13 February 2013}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=London Magazine, Volume 34, Issues 1-6|year=1994|publisher=London Magazine|page=131|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JRdPAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Book+of+Matches%22+Simon+Armitage&dq=%22Book+of+Matches%22+Simon+Armitage&hl=en&sa=X&ei=5ykbUbjYFZOM9AS8rICwDA&ved=0CDYQ6AEwAjgU}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Carter|first=Ronald|title=The Routledge History of Literature in English: Britain and Ireland|year=2001|publisher=Routledge|isbn=0415243173|page=404|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gi3dLTgA004C&pg=PA404&dq=%22Book+of+Matches%22+Simon+Armitage&hl=en&sa=X&ei=digbUYvcI5H08ATnr4CQAw&ved=0CEoQ6AEwBTgK#v=onepage&q=%22Book%20of%20Matches%22%20Simon%20Armitage&f=false}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=BOOK REVIEW / Northern lad grows up: Book of matches by Simon Armitage, Faber pounds 5.99|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/book-review--northern-lad-grows-up-book-of-matches-by-simon-armitage-faber-pounds-599-1502643.html|publisher=Independent|accessdate=13 February 2013|location=London|first=Elspeth|last=Barker|date=7 November 1993}} 3 : 1993 books|English poetry|Faber and Faber books |
