"Margaret Jennings’ notes on the making of these
disarmingly artless poems are almost as fascinating
as the poems themselves. Each stems from a place
of inquisitiveness, curiosity and wonder. ‘Would a
mountain stream prefer to be the sea?’ she asks.
It doesn’t matter that we’ll never know. In this charming
first collection, whose subjects range from the astronomer
Patrick Moore's love life to mathematicsand lizards, it’s the
questioning that counts."

​​‘The poems in We Are The Lizards range far and wide, from 
the mysterious immensity that stretches above our heads to the 
chalky earth that crumbles beneath our boots.       
They contain brambles and crows, trees and mountain-streams.
But they're not quite nature poems – because they're always 
returning to the human heart, and to the joys and fears that our 
lives bring us. A quiet, tender book, which relishes small, every-
day wonders.’
                                 David Swann (Author of 'The Privilege of Rain')
