'Like Basho and like Rumi, Mary Oliver and William Carlos Williams, Jayne Linke has a mystic-seeming knack for rendering complexity in profoundly straight forward terms. Her poems themselves can be read quickly and easily, at least in terms of the words on the page. Yet their impact lingers long, provoking new ways of seeing and appreciating the small and large things commonly taken for granted or overlooked. Jayne's poetic gifts include her keen eye for detail and her capacity for showing rather than telling. As a reader, I feel she takes my hand and guides me to the spring of insight, then offers a delicious freedom regarding where, when and how to dive in. Notable, too, is Jayne's personable yet playful language, which sparkles with inventive metaphors, imagery and musicality reflecting a long-standing passion for words. This is a collection that will captivate a broad range of readers, including both poetry aficionados and those perhaps not otherwise inclined towards the poetic genre. I recommend it particularly for those of us who, leading busy lives, need to slow down and breathe in some mindfulness - a reminder of how precious and how rare life truly is.' - Dr Amelia Walker, SA poet
