Reviews

Praise for Volume 1: An anthology that registers as a single work ... Philip Rowland's editorial tour de force is an absolute must. - John Stevenson in Modern Haiku If only more anthologies were as diverse and enriching as this one. Philip Rowland has identified and demonstrated a strong vein in contemporary poetry. - Tony Beyer in breath, a collection of haiku The work in NOON is poetry tending towards the ideal condition of silence, which is a kind of music, and the visual element, not only within but in the space around each poem, is key to eliciting the quality of attention required from the reader when a poem places so much weight on so few words. - Billy Mills in Elliptical Movements
