But though there are many poems here to sit back and admire, very few moved or excited me. I will say that I enjoyed the collection more as it went along: I couldn't get into the title sequence at all, with its puzzling obsession with hats, whereas I found the love poems in the last sequence much more engaging.
The little extract below was one I did enjoy, and it shows the wit and craft of Cynthia Macdonald's poetry to best effect:
