      I really enjoyed this collection of poems. The words sweep you along, painting vivid images and the feelings that go with them. Some of them I absolutely loved - Parkersburg, Startlingly Green and Witness in particular.

      Whether you love poetry or haven't read much since school this book is definitely worth a read.
