The Second Curtain Oh, how delightful. Here is a man who loves language. It carries the story, which is a slight one.
A man's friend dies- he looks into it and suffers the consequences . There is no slam- bang finale and it proceeds quietly . It is a sojourn in some ones mind. You are not going to become transformed by this little Penguin crime story. It will not even have you on the edge of your seat. But it's a great example of what a poet can do. Love it and leave it- a gentle little excursion into one man's mind. 4/5
