Weathering to perfection!

I first came across a copy of Weathering by Alastair Reid whilst browsing the poetry section of our little library in Inverness, Scotland. I was immediately captivated! His poetry is wonderfull simple, simple words, simple subjects. But within this simplicity lies a cunning hook, and suddenly you find yourself transported to some lonely sea shore, reliving some personal romantic moment, or back to your very first school lesson. The imagery will bring a smile to the face, a tear to the eye, a wrench to the heart. This book really is an absoulute gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough..... But beware! Once your friends find out about your purchase, you may never see it again! A must for any xmas, or birthday, all ages, all walks of life. Enjoy!
