There is a fair mix of moods and approaches in this collection of poems. I have enjoyed reading the poetry and have also enjoyed the images by Rob Graham. Its the sort of book that allows you to just open up on a page and read.

I went through this book trying to give it ratings for the poems and for the illustration with a maximum of five stars for each. I found it hard to do this on an individual basis, that is for each poem or picture, because as well as individual pieces the collection gels as a whole.

I came to the conclusion finally that I should give five stars for poetry and four for illustrations.

Poetry. five star *****
Illustrations. four stars ****
