Wow - over 6 pages of notes! And yet sometimes she still spells things out in the poetry - "Of Lord Darth Vadar from Star Wars". Line-breaks and indents continue to puzzle me - why does p.41 have any line-breaks? I had genre problems with p.47, p.48, p.52, etc - with only a little editing they could be prose BBC Nature reportage. There's a barrage of imagery - the first poem begins "Water, moonlight, danger, dream." and other poems slide-show one image after another, images drawn from many cultures and eras. When it works it's bracing. The "The King's Cross Foxes" section didn't work for me, but much of the rest was a worthwhile read - content-wise if nothing else.
