Reviews
The poems are beautiful, poignant and inspiring' - Stephen Gawtry, Managing Editor, Watkins Mind Body Spirit
While I'm not in the least a competent critic or connoisseur of poetry, I very much appreciate the simple clarity and warm transparency of their style, the sincerity of their vision.' - Richard Tarnas, author of The Passion of the Western Mind and Cosmos and Psyche
It sounds odd to say of such a profound book, rather than of a thriller, but I couldn't put it down. The poems are beautiful simple, clear, honest, moving.' - Craig Brown, critic and satirist
William Blake and Emily Dickinson
you have the same gift of expressing deep thoughts in seemingly simple language.' - Christopher Ralling, film director
I have been gently, quietly reading some of the poems and am so moved. You have a rare gift of being able to express in words exactly what you feel, experience and think. Each poem is a rich source for meditation, and I am so glad you are sharing them with others.' - James Roose-Evans, theatre director, priest, and writer on experimental theatre, ritual and meditation
a refreshing lack of pretension (true of your films, too, as I remember).' - Stephen Cross, writer and film director
I find your limpidity of style wonderful that you have found a way just to speak openly, directly, wisely and from the heart
a way whereby your profound inner experiences and questionings could find a way out' onto paper.' - Richard Ramsbotham, theatre director and writer
The ones I have read are just lovely, simple, funny, and say in simple words what I strive to say.' - Hermione Legg
Jackie is present in so much of what you write your grief, her smile, the love of nature you shared. And above all, the feeling that she is there in another dimension. They are such honest poems; they made me laugh and cry.' - Mary Anne Sutherland, family friend
