This book is definately different - each author seems to have their own voice, and from section to section there is something to gain from each. McLaughlin is very humorous in his approach, Graves is very dark and disturbing yet graceful, where Wilson seems to mellow them both with a laid back, depth like fine wine, almost romantic. I've never read this kind of poetry before and I have to say I was skeptical looking at the package -I noticed some typos the editors didn't catch and there was no table of contents, but the words speak for themselves. I hope there will be a sequel, or something further from these authors.

The Gossamer Eye is one of those books that deserves more than one reading. There is simply so much between the covers that, on any given day or mood, you can randonly turn to a page and start and be enthralled by what you find. I don't normally read poetry, but some of the lines/verses were so witty and so imaginative that I found myself smiling as I read. I can see myself turning again and again, for entertainment and inspiration, to this book.
