Reviews

[Mark Bailey · Rating 4 out of 5]

'Walking is a basic right, a basic task and a basic pleasure...allows us to note the changing of leaf colour, a butterfly sunning itself, a piece of rubbish in the gutter'

Picked this up in a charity shop. Nice collection of poems from ten different writers all related to walking in some way. As the writing genius Benjamin Myers once said: 'Walking is writing with your feet'.

From explicit descriptions of birdlife and low black clouds, to the power of nature in permitting us to forget the petty stresses we allow to gnaw at us in daily life. Nostalgic, magical and therapeutic - very good.

Pretty dark and depressing selection, overall

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of poems that provide a visual of images familiar and inspiring.

Lovely touching poems

[Ruth Brumby · Rating 2 out of 5]

A good idea, but it leads to rather over explicit content being prioritised over form. I di don't think the poems were excellent although all the production is lovely.

[Evie Fernand · Rating 3 out of 5]

A small collection of poems that explore human connection to nature, my favourites were The Fall of The Rebel Angels, 24, and Climbing Helvellyn.
