By no means every poem in this collection is a masterpiece, but there are some that are so wonderful that they they would be worth a 5 star rating on their own. As anyone who loves his writing will know, Adrian Plass has a special ability to bring together heaven & earth, God & humanity, "the sacred and the profane" and make them equally real. It is a pleasure to have all his poems together, to reread old favourites and to discover new ones. As Adrian Plass himself says in the Foreword, "To have them all, good, not so good, simple, complicated, light-hearted, funny, serious, sensible and silly collected into one volume is more exciting than I can say."
