`These poems about people don't so much as jump off the page at you as bond together thoughtfully, page by page, building piece by piece, a kind of composite picture of human nature'
The Independent on Sunday
`A first rate anthology...Surprising, touching and funny.'
The Irish Post
`This is a breath of fresh air.'
