'John Sabine writes with the authority and gentle humour of experience. As I savoured this collection of his poetry, I felt like a child at the knee of a venerable grandfather, listening, absorbing with wonder the things he was opening my eyes and senses to. Yet I also found myself thinking, 'Oh yes, I know just what you mean...' when he writes of love, children, art and nature. John's words are sometimes serious, sometimes light-hearted, but I was always aware of his eye for detail, an eye that is constantly twinkling.' - Brenda Eldridge
