• THE MIDSUMMER CUSHION

a remarkable collection of poems ... The retort to any carping about costs is that it is worth every penny; no poet, and certainly not Clare, could ever imagine their every jot and tittle would be so faithfully rescued for posterity. Any and every page is a testament to the patient endeavour, the sheer hard work, of Eric Robinson and his team: this is indeed a labour of love ... the material is all here, so there is no sense of our being denied anything.
