Dolly Mixture
By Michela Volante
ISBN 9781909219854
 
Following the tradition that we are what we read, this medley of poems pays more than passing homage to Hardy, Rosetti. Betjeman, Larken, Dylan, Cohen and Volante! In the process, it explores a variety of patterns and measures, metres, rhythms and lines; we hope you enjoy it.
