This book is like Jo Bell herself: lively, opinionated, sensitive, warm. I recommend you hear her perform her poems if you can - it's well worth it.
Reading these poems will make you smile and sigh, maybe even laugh or cry. She has the ability to encapsulate an idea in a few words, perfectly suited to the subject. She talks of dolphins who 'gashed the world with brine', a 'shagpile parkland' and pink carnations 'in their long-lived splayed confetti splendour.'
Read Jo's poems and revel in the words. Highly recommended.
