The poems collected here were mainly written by poets attending a series of Poetry as Healing workshops, and they are uneven in quality, albeit created for the worthy motive of battling depression.

That's not to say that they are entirely without merit, and I found the poem Honeysuckle by "tory" one which I enjoyed quite as much as those included from established poets such as Robert Frost and Christina Rossetti.

The first verse of Honeysuckle is:

I will weave the hedge this May,
I will warp and weft my way,
Back and forth my shuttle green -
Weaving, spinning country cream.

I took a chance in buying this slim volume, which I'm not sure was entirely repaid, but there are some poems here that I will read again, so neither was it a disappointment. ( )

Epigraph
My sun sets to rise again

Robert Browning: from 'The Mermaid'
Dedication
First words
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued
