These poems are a reminder that all life comes at a price but that we should value that cost and the benefits that ensue. Barrasford Youngs poems are masterpieces of observation offering the reader a vivid landscape of poignant well-crafted poetry. His long time love of books and literature as a retired publisher and bookshop owner offers the reader a lens to see the world of wide experience. This poem from the book exemplifies his wry observation, empathy and descriptive skills:The unnecessary death of an otter cub in a new hydro scheme Dark hydro water turbines back to lightbehind my house.At its high intake a cub caughtin unnatural rock fights concrete scours her cubsilk pelt concrete strips her skin to gut her bones break her will fails in wild trapped waterthat should have buoyed hershe fought and did she not feel terrorat that slow closing of body,fear the dark clawsfingering through her eyes? She did not know of death,but felt something failand found no gentleness. Not being aware of extinctionmakes it no easier. Barrasford Young is at his best with his sharp natural descriptions and recreation of scene and place.PaulineKirk, Editor, Fighting Cock Press
