Hi Honey! I'm Home.

This review of the Restored Ariel by Vanessa Curtis almost made me cry. The wonderful, happy-childhood images suggested by the new ordering are quite overpowering. Of course this doesn't mean that Ariel had become a kids' collection but all those bleak poems at the end so obviously did not belong in the collection. The Swarm, which is included as an appendix is actually one of my favourites though all the beekeeping poems are good. Still can't wait - still have to.
