'[An] eclectic collection of moving poems, chosen by a selection of well-known men . . . Organised chronologically, the poems in this book are preceded by a short explanatory note by the men who selected them. These pieces are probably the most interesting aspect of the book and give what would have been, without a doubt, an interesting poetry anthology anyway, far more substance and credibility . . . This is an interesting book, a perfect gift'  * The Literary Shed *
