Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-26 00:00:00 B Vd Kleijn This is a slightly odd duck. The first half of the book is a collection of really rather fine poetry and the second half of the book is a kind of prose travelogue telling how the author retraced the voyage that John Keats made by sea from London to Naples in the autumn of 1820, with the occasional poem thrown in along the way. The poetry is great and I even enjoyed the second half of the book, despite it not being the sort of thing I’d normally seek out. A very enjoyable read. To Whom It May Concern This poem about ice cream has nothing to do with government, with riot, with any political scheme. It is a poem about ice cream. You see? About how you might stroll into a shop and ask: One Strawberry Split. One Mivvi. What did I tell you? No one will die. No licking tongues will melt like candle wax. This is a poem about ice cream. Do not cry.
