I was disappointed by this, given the reviews it's had and the puffs by Harsent and Morley. Thaw (which I liked) was highly commended in the NPC. 3 of the poems (2 of which I didn't like) were shortlisted for the Bridport. A pamphlet was a winner in the Poetry business competition. There are sonnets, rhyming couplets, terza rima, etc.
I liked "The Robin Clock", "The Oak and the Fencemaker" and "Janice". Too many of the other poems leave me cold. "Are we there yet" is an over-used title for a death-bed poem.
