Reviews for Departure Lounge 58

“Curiously bizarre, relaxed yet obsessive, reading this book is like tuning into a mutantivor cutler/Philip Larkin crossbreed deciding what underwear to put on his head,and that entertains me” Lloyd Robson

“Enjoyable,engaging,entertaining poems from this off-the-wall,out-of-the-box,outside-the-lines poet.” Mab Jones
