SOME REVIEWS

 China Suite and other Poems by Gillian Bickley

"I thought the poems gave me a clear and realistic impression of parts of life in Hong Kong, which of course I don't know at all, and the real simplicity of language and apparent simplicity of structure, more profound than at first they seemed, I found pleasing." -- Personal communication to the Author, 28 February 2010.
