"This welcome coda to the writing life of Lionel Abrahams confirms what he expressed so wonderfully in one of his poems: that we are inhabited by libraries, that books find their ‘urgent life’ in us, just as we come to life in them. Lionel’s great, infectious faith in poetry lay in the value he attached to the meeting of writer and reader on the page. Meeting him again in this book is a rare delight." (Ivan Vladislavic, South African novelist and editor)
"This is poetry unafraid of history, unafraid of ideas, and committed to the difficult balancing act of bringing both enjoyment and confrontation to the reader ... This book was written in the knowledge of his coming death, through the bizarre period of the change of millennium and the 9/11 attack on New York. As Abrahams farewells his world, there is a new era emerging, and an utterly changed world facing certain terror." (Kevin Brophy, in Famous Reporter n.32) http://walleahpress.com.au/FR32Brophy.html
