Where Do Wishes Go?

"Fine debut celebrating the reach of poetry in crystalline language. Concern for Granddad in heaven, caring for a parent, flying homework and elusive blackberries. Absent friend, the extent of clouds and Mount Everest mysteries. Iridescent cover. Congrats @DBertulis"

-- Chrissie Gittins, poet * via Twitter *

"A wonderful collection of poetry... If you’re looking for magic, nature, adventure, humour and empathy, you’ll love this book."

-- Jo Bowers (Associate Dean & Lecturer: Primary Education) * via Twitter *

"This book is filled to the brim with poetry and very much lives up to its first poetry statement that ‘Poems are Doors’...Each poem sounds like the author has dipped into a child’s mind and draws attention to elements that may be thought or worried about but are very rarely discussed. Poems such as ‘Looking After Mum’ and ‘Grandad’s Leaving Home’, approach upsetting topics in a sensitive and supportive way."

"A wonderful collection of poems, exploring a wide range of subjects and emotions. Some are full of humour, others poignant - all enjoyable."

* Through The Bookshelf *

"There is a capable variety of poetry forms included within this selection. What’s more, there’s a variation of subjects too, though there are hopes, dreams, ambitions, from star gazing, to mountain climbing, considering other people’s lives and achievements... Bookwagon loves and recommends Where Do Wishes Go? and looks forward to further books from this poet."

"Bertulis is most interested in exploring people and relationships, which she does in an enviably spare and straightforward way, finding an approach, often with a gentle humour, that subtly evokes a response in the reader.”
