Peter Porter said that 'a new book from Ewart is indispensible'. Sadly this is the last volume, but it provides a feast of entertainment, virtuosity and profundity from the best work of our premier poet of light verse. 'The fizz of his technical inventiveness is unabated. . . There are tender as well as rude poems on sex, bluntly honest meditations on death and old age, and affectionate poems of family life. . . All entertaining, humane and irresistibly readable. ' Fleur Adcock 'The most remarkable phenomenon of the English poetic scene during the last ten years or so has been the advent, or perhaps I should say the irruption, of Gavin Ewart. ' Philip Larkin 'He is compulsively readable, and from a rather bitter isolation makes devastatingly funny comments on contemporary manners. ' Stephen Spender
