Wheeler unwraps a whole shopful of environments and events, and winds them up and sets them down to delight her readers. There is no sentimentalizing here – either of people or of other places and times — and yet the writing is so consistently sharp, perceptive, and clear, that the overall direction is always towards hope, towards the light.
Praise for Slow Moving Target:
“Here is a poet who keenly observes the world and its people with humour and love. I will return to these pages again and again for their verbal surprises and unflinching honesty. While highly intelligent, these poems are not intellectual; they speak to us in language that packs a passionate wallop.” — Patricia Young
