Dave Lewis is a unique voice in the poetry world. This new Haiku collection is filled with a range of vivid, often quirky, word pictures. He is adept at making every word count and often goes his own original way, as in a favourite of mine, 'Consultant's waiting room / the plant in the window / dead...' who else would have the temerity to finish on that single-beat word, dead? His thought-provoking images and surprising last lines take your breath away and will remain with the reader for a long time. - Moira Andrew
