Well I told her I would do a review and this isn’t it as I haven’t finished the book yet, but my initial impression is that this is a whacky sojourn in the soft, green underbelly of Middle England, where strange things happen and the sheep are especially nervous…!

A New Poem, ‘Nymph’
Nymph
You come to me, your face in water
mouthing words, obscure in the water
speaking from beyond, unsuspected
I peer across this sheen of water
I ask a question, you shake your head
I see nymph’s tears, even through water
my world and yours, we can almost touch
this crystal veil disguised as water
I hear you, as if you say ‘free me!’
then you’re gone, through my hands, like water
