Praise for this book

'I greatly admire Upperton's virtuosity as a poet (so much variety of tone, form and feeling) - and how much of the world he manages to get into his poems. This arresting, sometimes zany, sometimes mordant collection will further add to his literary standing.' --Harry Ricketts
