Author: Koenraad Kuiper Publisher: Quentin Wilson Publishing
Koenraad Kuiper’s poems are animated by a frugal, astringent, ironic intelligence that reminds me of when the word â€wit’ was used to describe or even name the verse of the Metaphysical poets. However, these poems are not historical pastiche, but are unmistakably contemporary, as in the several formal variations of his â€Benedictine Sonnets’. Most of the poems belong in sequences and play with variations on themes, a cumulative strategy that complements and extends their laconic humour. From time to time a translation is included, in Dutch mostly but occasionally in German — sometimes the English reads as though it is the translated version, a deliberate, playful oddness. Erudite, witty, economical, and elegantly composed, these poems are a pleasure to read piecemeal but even more from beginning to end as a complete, sustained immersion. Ian Wedde

Lovely bag
Color: Black
I really love this bag! The size, color, texture & easy access is perfect but it has a bad smell! I’m not sure I can explain the smell! It’s a petroleum chemical smell I hung it up in hopes of airing it out. If that doesn’t work I’ll have to return it. I hope it works for the bag is perfect otherwise!!!

Beautiful, Roomie, Love it!!
Color: Sorrel
Very nice leather handbag and also has a long strap that comes with it so you can use as a crossbow if you would like too. I really love this handbag ,I might buy another one for fall. Just bought this one thru the winter. Know I just bought a new blue bag for Summer. I love my bags! But this bag is made really well. It will hold up for quite some time and it is pretty roomier inside.

Good quality and stylish also. Great purchase.
Color: Wine
This purse arrived timely and without damage. Product was well secured to prevent tears, etc. This purse is exactly what I was wanting. I was needing a purse that a more rectangle shape allowing me to access more easily with my arthritic hands. The leather and workmanship of this purse is very satisfactory. There are several compartments inside, some of which have zippered closures which allows added security. The color I chose is a rich wine red. I am more than pleased with this purse and will purchase again later in other colors.

Happy with these boots
Nice-looking and more comfortable than expected for a pointy toe—I’ve worn them a lot for events.

Absolutely soft leather
Color: Coffee
I ordered the coffee color, absolutely love it.Super soft- I have ordered brands that cost 4xs as much & returned because of stiff leather. The zippers simply glide.I love all the different zipper pockets, I like having a place for everything, my phone fits perfectly in the back side zipper area. The front magnetic for my key fob.Zipper above to get out quick cash.I had a hard time deciding which color I wanted! It's roomy enough inside but not too big where Im going to carry things I dont need. It's nice having 2 straps to trade out- im starting with the guitar strap- like that it is adjustable straps & on swivel hooks.And you can really smell the genuine leather. For my preference I would have liked it to have been 2 to 3 inches shorter height wise as I was looking to replace a few bags I used when flying but this is perfect for an everyday crossbody.This bag looks very well made. Nothing fancy on the inside. Plan on searching for this brand in smaller size and some soft colors for spring & summer.
