<p>While Walton does not readily forgive the world its many failings this collection is replete with the poet&rsquo;s signature tenderness and lyricism a bustling paean to Eros Sophia and empatheia. This quality wedded to the poet&rsquo;s nimbleness of thought and keen eye are like a &ldquo;falling butterfly tapestry&rdquo; that keeps the reader spellbound wondering where his poetic imagination will take us next.<br /><strong>Justin Lowe</strong><br />poet author of eleven collections editor of <em>Bluepepper</em>.</p>
