PICK 'N' MIX REVIEWED

 

I once heard writing described as being like dancing naked in public.  If that is so, then being reviewed is like standing naked in Trafalgar Square while each passer-by inspects your every detail through a magnifying glass.

But in a review of PICK’N’ MIX for Sphinx, the leading reviewer of poetry chapbooks,  DA Prince said:

                

        “… inventive … witty … touching … rude … life-enhancing … I shed tears of joy …”

 

And even the bits represented by the dots were almost as kind!  So my exposed bits are less hideous than I had feared.  Even so, I envy Nelson -- the Square’s main attraction and on view to millions, but fully clothed and out of the range of magnifying glasses!
