About the book
'Here is the rawness and risk of Liz Winfield, the surreal, diamond-hard perfection of Karen Knight’s images, the deeply-experienced feeling for landscape and history of Norma Knight, the visual virtuosity of Lyn Reeves with its aching awareness of the possibility of loss and the pain and humour of Robyn Mathison's poems. These are accessible works. They have mud, stars and everything in between, most importantly, people. I recommend it to all book buyers.' - John West
'The work of these five poets, each with a quite distinctive voice, is uniformly of a high quality. This collection contains a wonderful mixture of passion, wit, keen observation and human warmth. Whether concerned with public matters, the natural world, family or the intensely personal, these poems are, above all, a celebration of the magic that language can create.' - Tim Thorne
