Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
One or two on a bad morning — some of them are the best thing that happened that day. Some are the same poem again with a different animal in it. Is that a criticism? Not sure.

Read a novel about the end of the world on public transport, surrounded by strangers coughing, and I'd do it again! The Travelling Symphony in the snow. Survival is insufficient, yes, fine, put it on a caravan — it worked on me.9 out of 10Station Eleven
