From the Introduction

“There is a gentle revelation that comes with the gift of another’s carefully crafted vision; with these poems, there is not a sense of the hypocrisy of a vicarious experience, there is a sense of shared consequence. Her words draw us into a world where a certain shaping of the imagination is required to enter the portal.”
- Amanda Joy, author of Not Enough to Fold

Reviews

“When I first came across Victoria Fotios’ poetry, I knew I had found a poet I would read and enjoy for many years. Her very English slightly off-centre poetry reminds me of Larkin at his best. “Pegs” is and always will be one of my favourite ever poems. This is a collection not to be missed. “
- Si Philbrook, poet, published in various journals including Poetry Monthly (UK)

“A beautiful insight into a life that is conveyed with breathtaking poignancy. The secret moments, emotions and scenes that are weaved throughout this collection have an intimacy that is compelling. Refreshing honesty and imagery that effortlessly transports the reader into another's life. Victoria Fotios paints pictures with her words. “
- Kiersty Boon, author of Walking On Chalk and The Poet Busker
