Reviews

[Jenny Webb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely collection; strong voice. Unexpected turns in the poetic lines. Simon examines the material and the mythic with the same unflinching eye.

My favorites were: Dedication; Clothes that Wear Me; Icarus in the Twentieth Century; Nude Mice; The Sadness of Rivers.
