'There are several perfect lyrics in this lovely collection.' - Michael Longley, Editor of 20th Century Irish Poems.
'We watch Liz Mellon's poems out of the corner of the eye. They make their occasions, as she puts it, at 'the edge of the word' or 'the white side of the night.' She gives vivid expression to both delight and disenchantment (sometimes in the same poem). She shapes her edgy, gnomic utterances with a natural's sense of rhythm and cadence. Liz Mellon's poems are like pebbles skimmed with a graceful flick of the wrist over deep waters. There are several perfect lyrics in this lovely collection.' - Michael Longley, Editor of 20th Century Irish Poems.
