"Sometimes you can read a collection of poems and know, instantly and deeply, that this will change the way you look at all poetry collections in the future. Gordon Dargie's collection is one of these. His thirty-nine sonnet sequence (the larger, and most significant, part of this pamphlet) sets a standard against which you will measure your future reading - for structure, for narrative control, for language, for new ways of writing about being human."
