‘Have so enjoyed reading the poems, a lovely book and richly satisfying in so many ways — your voice comes through loud and clear.’
— Janet Wilson, lecturer Northampton University Kevin Ireland, poet, comments:
‘What a treat. A knock-out to read. And all the illustrations are haunting. A lovely job and I'm delighted to see it. Such a pleasure.’ ‘I enjoyed the poems, and the illustrations. What strikes me most is what a superb ear you have: the music you make from your choice of sounds and syllables is remarkable, as many people must have told you.’
-- Alistair Fox, academic & writer |
