Review

Lately the poetry editor of Faber & Faber, Reid has published this little collection himself.  Comparable, perhaps, to the incomparable Stevie Smith, the verses here inhabit the land that logic forgot: the mysteries of sleep, a fly's view of geometry - and the properties of dogs' noses:

'Dog's nose is full of wisdom, / dog's nose is wise - / which is why we must love it dearly / and see that it never dries.' - review by John Wyse Jackson (Seán)
