Review # 1 was written on 2011-01-22 00:00:00 Chris Brown By their very nature anthologies can be inconsistent. This book had its better moments but was on the whole disappointing as I found some of Abse's essays frankly boring. His more autobiographical stuff was though very good and I'd have liked to read more of that. I still plan on reading "Ash On A Young Man's Sleeve" in the near future. My favourite essay in this collection was his recollection of life as a suffering Cardiff City FC fan.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-04 00:00:00 Steve Wilson This is a lovely book. Warm, welcoming, intellectual but unassuming. For anyone that is interested in poetry - contemporary and classical - this book should be on your bookshelf! It collects many of Abse's articles and essays on poetry and has a memoir/journal feel to it overall. I'd definitely read it again.
