A Glimmer o Stars - Lynn Valentine - Bog

''There is a sense of loss in many of these poems from Lynn Valentine, but never of emptiness. The writing is focussed: ties to family, ties to place, personal and shared experiences. The language is worked in such a way that it feels easy, the sounds sit comfortably in the lines, the words controlled to deliver emotional punch. Even when she steps away from the immediate, when there is a sense of otherness, Lynn Valentine observes the world from a solid place. Read these poems out loud: they''ll resonate.''
- Charlie Gracie - novelist, poet, scriever
''On picking up Lynn''s pamphlet, find a comfy place to pause and read: all you have to lose is one connection at a time from your daily drudge. Allow your mind to uncouple long enough to embrace her imagery, to wander in and out of light and shade, to unpack elements of recollection with which we will all connect and through her welcome weave of Scots find new adventures to inspire you.''

- Jim Mackintosh - poet, editor, Makar
