   Firstly a big thank you to the author for not just sending this book my way, but to also send a lovely card and a beautiful bookmark! I loved that extra personal touch! I really liked how the poetry in this collection takes us on a wonderful countryside journey and it really captures the wilderness of the forest and the horses and all things outdoors. I didn't however like how almost every poem was trying too hard to rhyme. I understand each poet has their own style and I admit this is a personal Firstly a big thank you to the author for not just sending this book my way, but to also send a lovely card and a beautiful bookmark!

I didn't however like how almost every poem was trying too hard to rhyme. I understand each poet has their own style and I admit this is a personal issue and not to discredit the poet's artistry. But having read other styles, I didn't like the constant rhyming. Either way, I would recommend picking it up. As the writing style aside, it was a good collection.

   Beautifully packaged (thank you!); received as part of a Goodreads give-away. Like one of the other reviewers, I found this evocative of a rural journey, but with a sense of 'trying too hard': the naturalistic setting(s) a little undermined by a style which was less natural in feel. There's good writing here, but perhaps a little too tightly constrained: the sense of 'effort' that comes through fights against the larger/grander settings built within the poems. Worth a read (everyone should read mo Beautifully packaged (thank you!); received as part of a Goodreads give-away.

   Thank you Gina for this copy, which I won as a Goodreads giveaway. This is a lovely collection of poetry inspired by the natural wonders that surround us. I live in a relatively rural area in England, so was pleased find commonality that felt so close to my own experience - despite the many miles and time zones that separate us! Thanks again, for an enjoyable reading experience.
