"Surreal imagery abounds in this slim yet densely packed volume: cattle falling from the sky, reanimated joggers, sinister maternity homes... Interesting and emotionally potent."
The List, 08/93 |

"A similar hypersensitive invention to J.D. Salinger or Kurt Vonnegut... highly bizarre but utterly fascinating. This is an absorbing and rewarding book by a major new talent."
City Life, 10/93 |

"If you like bizarre imagery, incurable romanticism and surreal scenarios, then you should love this book — it's rather like D.F. Lewis without the horror and dark fantasy."

"... delightfully intriguing and immensely satisfying collection of offbeat poems and tiny stories... pure joy from beginning to end... unreservedly recommended as a compulsory read."
