4.0 out of 5 stars Moving and emotional, 25 Nov 2007
By H. J. White "Hilde-girl" (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A seemingly simple and understated collection of poems that capture the imagination and play on the emotions. Amazon had a particular personal and poignant meaning and I wonder what experiences provoked such sensitivity in the author. It sums up the feelings exactly. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lyrical, intelligent, beautiful, 21 Feb 2006
By A Customer
There's a huge amount to savour and return to in this collection. The poems are beautifully constructed and full of memorable, moving and challenging imagry. The collection has real emotional punch without flash gimmicks, just remarkable craft. Reccomended.

4.0 out of 5 stars solid type, 27 Dec 2005
I've just acquired Skirrid Hill and I think the poems are exceptional and wonderful. Owen Sheers has a seemingly light touch and simple approach and then the underlying theme hits you. A masterly set of youthful verses. Late Spring, The Farrier, Inheritance, are particular favourites. The cover photo is just right.

Some decent workmanlike creative-writing-workshop style poems, but not much that is original or vivid. Read more
