Summary of this Book...
A collection of original poetry by the late Margaret Havill "Mandi" Reid, named "Poet of the Year" in 1993 and chief runner-up in 1994, this book contains not only prizewinning verse, but many poems that have never before appeared in print.
This type of Book is good for...
all who enjoy the finest poetry from a real master of the medium.
I especially liked...
the amazing illustrations. Margaret Reid was also an acclaimed artist.
The author of this Book...
is obviously a most accomplished poet who ranges with ease over all styles and genres. Her verses are at times humorous, at times didactic, on other occasions bitingly satirical, haunting, nostalgic, lyrical and philosophic.
I recommend this Book because...
it is one of the finest anthologies of verse by an individual poet ever produced. Who else can lay claim to award-winning poetry AND highly acclaimed art? Very few!
Further Comments...
An annual poetry contest, The Margaret Reid Prize for Traditional Verse, has been named after this writer. The 2009 contest will award cash prizes totaling $5,350.
