aligeorge's review
I can't fairly give this a star rating - it's a collection of poetry and short stories, some of which I really liked and some of which left me cold. Stand out stories for me included The Tooth by Brian Hamill which is quite bleak and has some visceral imagery, The Mutable Light by Vicki Jarrett, Hurrying Handbags to Kyleakin by Ian Madden, The Ghost at Helly's Wake by Rose Ruane which had an interesting take on school friendships, Homer by Karen Thirkell which is just a well put together story, and The Order of Things by Lynnda Wardle. There is also a lot of poetry in there, of which The Missus by Kate Tough was the only poem in there that made me stop and think.
