Poeżiji li jweġġgħuk, tikka wisq, imma li tħobbhom mill-qiegħ tal-qiegħ ta' qalbek.

Riflessjoni fuq Il-poter meditattiv tal-mixi u tal-mixja (vjaġġ)- ġabra ta’ poeziji personalissimi, mimlija emozjoni ġenwina, li jqanqluk. Kważi eżorċiżmu, ta’toqol antik, u mbagħad twelid mill-ġdid, magħmudija fil-baħar Mediterran u l-bqija tal-pajsaġġ Malti. Xejn ma ngħidu għad-disinn, l-illustrazzjon u l-kwalità tal-istampar- tassew xierqa għal xogħol ta’ dan il-kalibru.

Biċċa xogħol inkredibbli. Bkejt ħafna waqt li kont qed naqrah dal-ktieb. Bkejt għall-affarijiet li qatt ma stajt nimmaġina li nesperjenza, u bkejt għall-affarijiet li ħsibthom ġejjin minn ħsibijieti jew mill-esperjenzi tiegħi stess. Domt ħafna biex qrajtu għax ħassejt il-bżonn li nerġa' naqra ħafna mill-poeżiji (esperjenza li ħarġet ħafna iktar affarijiet ma' kull darba). Rari nerġa' naqrah ktieb imma dan wieħed li żgur irrid nerġa' naqra fil-futur.
U waqt li kont qed naqrah iddikjarajt lill-boyfriend tiegħi: THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF LITERATURE. Kien ħaqqu fuq li ħaqqu l-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb għall-Poeżija.
