Heerlijke bundel. Wat wel een klein beetje steekt, maar niet vervelend bedoeld naar dichter, bundel of uitgever, dat dit werk vanwege naam en faam wel besproken wordt maar vergelijkbaar werk van dichters bij kleinere uitgeverijen zoals crU (c'est moi) of Stanza niet. C'est la vie. Mooi in ieder geval dat een grote uitgever dit nog wil uitgeven.
