'Not long ago I was on the island of Kauai when I spotted a street library in rustic Hanalei, and I was fascinated by this free exchange of books on the main street. An old wooden pantry was full of island reading books that one can find the world over – spy novels, mysteries, fantasy, history, romance and travel books – and so I slipped my poetry book among The Destroyer Killer (Edwin Hoyt), Murder in the House (Margaret Truman) and Husbands, Lover, Stranger (Suzanne Forster). A little poetry would not go astray, I reasoned, and would give the reader a choice for an island afternoon of escape reading.' (Introduction)
