Hearing Eye

Here are 12 poems - one for each of the hours of the day - on clocks, watches and other timing devices. They range from a brash alarm clock and a dignified grandfather clock to an egg-timer and a hectoring pub clock, calling 'Time', and the great cosmic clock in which we all find ourselves. There is variety, wit and humour and a touch of the serious mystery of time.

The pleasure for me in reading these well produced books is the poetry of Heath-Stubbs, running in harness with the truly delightful drawings of Emily Johns.
