This poetry warms your soul. With its references to childhood and mother, beasts and relationships, serious and silly, it offers a rare perspective on life as it flows effortlessly from its pages. I have been compelled to phone some of my friends and read some passages to them. The drawings are an additional bonus.

After reading this collection of poems, one could only wonder about what could have made the man/the poet/the artist "who on realizing his humanity discovers himself in nature" at first, before proceeding to "probe his own illustrated image" - simply "by taking himself to court for passing wind in front of the President". But then the writer provided the answer in the most unexpected place - the back cover, claiming the man/the poet/the artist, "developed a sharper view of conscience and self-correction, therefore "he moved from the temporal notions of being a romantic to the ethically driven in volume"...ah!

...fascinating and easy to read, but hard to put down as one of those books.
