My second collection of verse. Here's what poet Adrian Scott had to say about it:
"This is a really strong follow up to Peter's first book, 'My Mother is an Old Elephant'. The poems are earthy and some have that autobiographical quality that is both personal and yet universal, as it touches one's own experience and illuminates it. I love the poem 'Journey of Illumination' it gets under the skin of glib spirituality and to the deep and difficult heart of life. If you want a poem a day for a rich few weeks of reflection this would be a great buy. I love the book's cover - it touches the child within the adult on the pilgrim track of life. "
And this from Peter Taylor:
"Peter has again excelled in creating poetry of extraordinary warmth and accessibility; each poem can be read in the space of a few minutes and the/a message is clear, leaving the reader the luxury of wallowing in that warmth, as if taking a leisurely bath. This is not to say that the pieces are shallow - far from it: they touch on the jugular issues of maintaining the spiritual life of man, keeping that part of one's life strong and able to cope with the misfortunes, and sometimes the horrors, of the immediate, physical world, always offering a positive take on whatever might otherwise cripple our thoughts and responses. I liked particularly "Easdale" - for the wake-up to the fact that the width of a road can (nay, must) be measured, at least in places, by the haunches of cattle. And there is much more revelation in the pages than that from which we will all learn. "
And Leeann Roots said this:
"Beautiful, full of pathos and stilled my heart."
