Reviewing

I review Still, a 2005 chapbook collection by Liz Atkin (Flarestack Publishing, 8 Abbot's Way, Pilton, Somerset, BA4 4BN.).

So, on the basis of the review, would you consider buying it? Or would it make you think, “No chance!”

I wrote a review in the latest print edition of Sphinx as well, of U.S. writer Norbert Hirschhorn’s chapbook The Empress of Certain, available from Poet’s Corner Press (www.poetscornerpress.com).

On perusing the press’s website I found my review on their site, which was a surprise. Not that I mind, but it’s nice to at least know when someone reprints your work in its entirety. Perhaps they did ask HappenStance?

Anyway the chapbook is very good and my review is now handy for anyone to read.
