Wonderful 7 Oct 2007
By Adia G.
As a fan of Kate Bush, I was intrigued by this publication because her music has always been quite inspirational to me in many ways. I am not an artist or a writer, but I am an enthusiast and I thought it would be nice to see how her music has helped those who do work in the arts sublimate their emotions, ideas and perspectives through different creative channels. Being a fan I do realize the passion can spill over a bit and get a little oppressive, but this volume of art and poetry is positively lovely. The production of the book itself is extremely well done and the writing and visual creations that live on the inside are quite good and full of wonder.

And I have to say that the work really does stand on its own outside of Kate's inspiration. Although there are portraits of Kate and the occasional gushing, it truly is not a traditional tribute perse in which the art and writings consistently place her upon a pedestal. It is quality work that has its own identity. Much of the poetry is actually quite outstanding and if you read it separate from this volume, you would never know it was inspired by Kate Bush unless you were told.

I actually received it as a gift this weekend because there are no more available. A really good friend did his best to track one down for me and I am so glad he did. I had to come here to lend my comments because I never thought I would ever see a copy and now I own one and have really enjoyed perusing its pages. It is a curious and charming addition to my bookshelf and I will certainly treasure it :)

Two thumbs way up! 17 Oct 2006
This highly anticipated publication has a prestigious array of talented contributors that should make it a truly inspirational read. American poet and author Collin Kelley joins the efforts of Kyla Clay-Fox of "Morning Fog Press" in the UK and Jeffrey Side from "The Argotist On-line" magazine in this endeavor. Their commitment in selecting art, poetry and complimentary prose from some of the most talented and inspired Kate Bush fans from the "Homeground" forum and other sources has been a labor of love. This limited edition publication is sure to be a collector's item for fans of Kate Bush. More than that it is a testatment to the power of truth through art and beauty.

Perhaps the Amazon reviewer would like to specify some of the 'Gushing poetry' he speaks of, along with page numbers and references?
Generally, most critics will at least have the courtesy to present a little evidence to reiterate their opinion, which of course we are all entitled to. As the publisher, I know that this book had sold out pre March and am curious as to why it takes until September to write such a short and uninformative 'critique.'
Perhaps also, he could keep to not making insulting references about the KBNI forum, or have the courage to make his remarks in public there where the forum members against whom he is disparaging, can at least excersise their freedom of speech too.
This book was a not for profit excersise, as EVERYONE who bought it was well aware. Therefore, bias or not, it seems sad that someone who bought it knowing this, would want to harm it's reputation.....And ok, I've removed the comment about dyslexia (Which was silly on my part), but, if you have the book- You will know it was for charity and as a personal gift for Kate.. Therefore, if you couldn't write anything nice about it, I don't understand why you would write anything at all? And the fact that you say you do read the forum, means that you must know all of that and that it was a limited run, which is no longer in print anyway?
If I'd published something meant for huge profit, not for Charity and not for Kate, then I would hold my hands up to the fact that it is out there to be criticised and pummelled--But a 100 print run, for the NSPCC and for Kate, with free contributions from all authors --I think the 'shame' is that knowing this, people tread on the spirit with which it was made..
