Reviews

"Books for armchair travellers and writing groups are both time honoured traditions and Whistle for Jellyfish unites them in a delightful anthology that takes a reader to destinations both exotic and fantastical."

"These poems are patient and wise. They invite, rather than alert, accost, or besiege. Their words, chosen for their quiet particularity, communicate rather than display."
