Reviews

'These poems are eloquent, graceful and meticulously candid. Their subjects are often local - but Rose Lucas's major concern is the universal, how life's balance sheet of wins and losses plays out over changes in time and place. Her control of line patterns, the vigour and clarity of her perceptions, her poise and light-footed music pervade the book in moving ways. There is a questing, vulnerable sensuousness here, yet the overall spirit of her poetry is reverence and joy.' - Judith Beveridge
