I’ve just read Stone the Crows, a collection of poems by a friend of mine, Dilys Rose, and found them marvellous. ( I don’t find the poetry of all friends’ poetry marvellous: some of it is execrable.) They are beautifully crafted. They sing. All are witty, and many are funny. Even the two poems that were commissioned are strong, which is usually not the case, as any poet laureate will tell or show you.
My blog with a link to Dilys's website where you hear her read three of her poems and buy a copy of the collection.
