70 writers revel in the joys and the pitfalls of summer, heat and stick sweat ...

5 poets write 15 poems each against 15 different topics, so the collection features 75 different opinions. All are different and unique in their own way. "e;Can good poetry be written on demand? Matt Potter asked five poets to write poems on fifteen topics like "e;Convenience Stores,"e; "e;Personal Grooming,"e; and "e;Public Transport."e; The result was Versus, an attractively-designed anthology with many memorable poems like Howie Good's arresting 'To the Blue', Claudia Bierschenk's plaintive 'Old Women Blues', Ron Campbell's biting 'Operators',Carolyn Cordon's artful 'What Can I Do?' and JP Reese's scorching 'Ghosts.' Can good poetry be written on demand? The answer is "e;Yes"e; and 'Versus' is the proof."e;Bill Yarrow, author of 'Pointed Sentences'
