'What we value in poetry is its ability to see with precision the importance of the momentary. Margaret Reichardt's poems are a testament to close observation of those things that might otherwise pass unnoticed. With a keen sensibility she celebrates the power of the ordinary in our lives. Through glimpses into the personal world, Reichardt takes us on brief journeys that open out our view onto the larger issues in life. Whether of the people around us, the places we may traverse, or the creatures that accompany us - in here you will find perceptions that reveal the somehow familiar world in a way that is fresh and renewing.' - Kate Deller-Evans (Publisher's website)
