Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Hetherington has become a master of the prose poem form, creating intriguing yet hospitable pieces whose tonal, emotional and imaginative range are a delight. Each piece has been carefully wrought to become sharp and revelatory; his graceful cadences reach right into the heart of his subjects. This poet gives us substance, communion and an intense dialogue with the inner life. This is a superb collection. ~Judith Beveridge In Paul Hetherington's Moonlight on Oleander things, places and human relationships become densely present in the process of being thought forward into ghostliness, through long and loving habit. Sequential without being narrative, consequential without the clincher of rhyme, Hetherington's forms of words, gathered into blocks, seem like a new, telling version of sparseness, 'unworded by exertion' in the great tenderness the poet hints at, but will not overstate; in the links made between old worlds and new. ~Vahni Capildeo
