'Although the poems are short as the haiku style usually is P.J. Reed ignites the imagination with the rich visual imagery contained within her verse and the way in which the words knock together creating sparks.' DR

Flicker is a delightful collection of senryu or human haiku. In Flicker, Reed has brought together a series of poetic postcards, entwining the ever-changing nature of the Devon countryside, with the lives of some of the fascinating people she has encountered on her travels.

This collection is a rollercoaster of human emotions, ranging from sensitive portrayals, to a wicked commentary of a host of characters she has met in her travels including jealous wives, wandering husbands, bored businessmen, an ever-scribbling writer, a time traveller, and the infamous animal man of Crediton.

'Although the poems are short as the haiku style usually is P.J. Reed ignites the imagination with the rich visual imagery contained within her verse and the way in which the words knock together creating sparks.' DR

'Wonderful intro by Karen Jones. I didn't know what to expect as I haven't read poems from P J Reed before. I was interested to see that some of the poems in Flicker are on the topic of COVID19. A subject which I have also written about too. There are observations of a child standing apart from a long lost friend. The impact of closure of public toilets. Overheard conversations from disbelieving binmen. The UK governments Eat out to help out scheme. Nature's revival in roaming wildlife seen in our streets during the first Lockdown in March. Hoarding of toilet rolls and the impact of selfishness on the vulnerable. As well as, poetic commentary about the public's inability to wear face masks properly, and amusing face mask faux pas!

There are so many wonderful and powerful observations expressed in so few words. The power of poetry at it's best!' MM
