Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-30 00:00:00 Robert Passloff Praise God - missionaries save black heathen from mumbo-jumbo. The other poems are no better.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-04 00:00:00 Stanislav Dulinek That rhythmic, towering, well-known five star declamatory marvel, The Congo, clearly overshadows the rest of this collection of poetry. The Firemen´s Ball held my interest, with its unusual reference to a cleansing, buddhist fire at its metaphorical center, as did four of the whimsical and wry Moon poems for children (Euclid, The haughty Snail-King, What the Rattlesnake said and What the gambler said), all of which deserve four stars each. There are some interesting verses, rhymes and rhythms scattered around the rest of the rather humdrum or stale one to two star poems.
