''Helene Castles creates exquisite imagery with beautiful word placement and choice of topic. She brings to life the world of her childhood and family life, casting a discerning yet gentle eye on the truths and memories of her youth as well as comment on current political and humanistic platforms. She creates her poetry with a calm and considered approach, teasing forth emotions and memories, then packs a compassionate yet forthright punch of contemporary social conscience. Helene's poetry is rich in imagery, delivering quality content whilst prompting further contemplation to prompt the reader to delve deeper. Poetry at its best.' - Robyn Black, President of the Goulburn Valley Writer's Group' (Production summary)
