Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-01 00:00:00 Karin Toti Mostly disappointing, but includes the exuberantly grandiose 'Staines Waterworks' by Peter Redgrove, The sublime 'In the Likeness of a Grasshopper' by Ted Hughes: A trap Waits on the field path. A wicker contraption, with working parts, Its spring tensed and set. So flimsily made, out of grass (Out of the stems, the joints, the raspy-dry flags). Baited with a fur-soft caterpillar, A belly of amorous life, pulsing signals. Along comes a love-sick, perfume-footed Music of the wild earth. The trap, touched by a breath, Jars into action, its parts blur - And music cries out. A sinewy violin Has caught its violinist. Cloud-fingered summer, the beautiful trapper, Picks up the singing cage And takes out the Song, adds it to the Songs With which she robes herself, which are her wealth, Sets her trap again, a yard further on and the amusing Monet Refuses the Operation by Lisel Mueller

The aperture is touched. We do the touching. Dilation follow from the touch we give. What follow is so simple that it's touching. Arousal as reaction is what's normal. and that reaction is the one we want. Once that is known, the whole thing is quite normal... ---Tested by Anthony Thwaite I guess I failed the test. This collection of "101 poems about science" is dull. I have a collection of poetry and I have a live long interest in science. I cannot believe this is the best that this gets. We should be inspired, intrigued, entranced, enlightened. Maybe the names Riordan and Turney are just creations of the A.I. ver. 1.0 that selected these poems.
