A LITTLE STRIP of a REVIEW




The above review was one of thousands - well over three hundred - in the
September Issue of a magazine called RnR If I had not been told about it by
Birnam CD I would probably never have known it existed 

Mostly, as I have said before, reviews can tell you more about the
reviewer that what is being reviewed Whether or not that applies in this case
I have no idea but I thought this post would look better if it had a few words
underneath the image Whether or not I am right in thinking this - I have no idea

And I can say more on the subject Well I can ask a question What kind of listening produces a review like the one above - and I could suggest it is the product of someone who writes a lot of reviews

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Poetic thought can come from anywhere, it just takes the right circumstances for it to be seen and appreciated for the beauty and the scars that it contains.
For scars are what makes poetry believable, intense and bound to the author, a rose may well just smell as sweet but if it hasn’t been plucked forcibly from the ground or snipped at the hem of the bush can it truly represent all the anguish it which a teenage heart wishes to install into the meaning of presenting it to their love.
