“ Galia Admoni creates beautiful, tender poems. Hers is a voice for the fragile, a completely new take on unrequited love, observations of privacy and invention, blending the real world and fantasy, delivering a quiet stoicism that makes this collection a page-turner as you realise you are spending time with someone you are rooting for, wanting to know more about the voice you are seeing on the page. This collection is vital for the world we live in today and delivers a quiet lyrical hope. \- John Osborne (*Most People Aren’t That Happy Anyway*)”
