Reviews for A Way of Seeing: Perception, Imagination and Poetry
'Where do we go to find some guidance in how to improve the way we see the world? I suggest the very best person to assist is a poet. John Allison has written a book that shines a light on what happens as one works on one's own senses, thoughts and feelings. Brilliant and important.'
