"Honey dew is the debut pamphlet by Darren J Beaney a collection of twenty-one powerful love poems, Beaney has written a wonderful and emotionally charged pamphlet that savours the true expressions and empathy in love with all its up's and downs, the poems are sublime fragments and enchanting visions of true love and are sometimes confessional. A true and well written debut that will manifest its imagery in the mind with such lines as "it carried countless memories in the circular membrane made from battered water buffalo", and love is what we need more of today."
