'Melville Lovatt's wry observational skills are used to wonderful effect In this eclectic collection of warm, witty and compassionate poems. He takes us on memorable journeys into other peoples lives with empathy, and astute perceptions that encompass the wide range of human emotions. He has a beautiful ability to convey a whole background story in one short poem And encapsulates so much of how we felt during the last two years. The poems benefit even more from being read out loud, demonstrating his playwrights artistry that comes to the fore in the inner dialogues. A lovely anthology to dip into and relish. HAZEL LEVENTHAL.
