'The poetry of Barbara Binland is a joy to read and will make you smile with the truth and humour of her words. Her gently rhyming verse is both uplifting and funny; while you may cry at the Tribute to Grandpa, and sigh at the beauty of Ballad of the Dolphin, the mirth of Grey Liberation Day will have you chortling. Read it to yourself, read it to a friend, read to a suggested tune, read some to your children even. Grey Liberation Day is poetry for every Australian over fifty, and some of you young uns as well!
