Reviews

[Randy]

This is a superb collection of poetry, highly recommended. The feel throughout was elegiac, complete with several eulogies for people, states such as childhood, Wales of years ago, etc. The text came even more alive when, about halfway through, I realized I should be reading (silently) with a Welsh, or at least British, accent. Even when he was talking about the trees in Oregon or desert in Utah.
