I loved this work.
Jeff Roberts has a unique mind - gorgeously precise and filled with whimsy. I smiled my way through many poems, but Roberts doesn't back away from darkness for a second. He is fiercely observant, honest and keenly sensitive, without self-pity. With an arsenal of craft at his call, he never abuses it. There is wonderful absurdity and wit in his work.
Roberts' poem The Boatman is an instant classic.
For me this was a delightful book, very heartfelt, with illustrations filled with the same odd, unforgettable charm as the poems.
