Review (PDF) From A Distance
The title of Mary Whitby's book 'From a Distance', is a line from a poem of the same name in this collection. The golden sprayed waves on the cover give a hint to the poem's content and is just one of the experiences where the author finds her inspiration. Her work with children, the horrors of war, her love of nature, traditions of Christmas and everyday incidents find their way into her writing. Her poems will inspire, amuse, and perhaps even cause you to recall memories of your own experiences. Things that touch her heart inevitably end up in a poem, be it sad, funny, shocking or whimsical, and this small book has them all.

The presentation of this little book is delightful. The printing has exceeded my expectations, with a neat, smoothly tactile cover, representing the noisy ocean waves depicted in one of the poems. Inside, again, printed exactly as I wrote these poems, the forms have been correctly depicted as submitted, and I commend the formatting and the printing . The form of the poem "winter garden", is a good example of the above, and for this reason I would recommend anyone else having their work produced in this same way. The poems themselves depict my thoughts, my experiences with children, images of war from relentless news items, a historical story of whaling, the sadness of an injured child, a light- hearted look at Woolworths, some looks at nature, a fast- legged spider or two, a comical funeral, and others. I'm sure readers would enjoy a relaxing moment with some of these pages.
