'There have been scores of angling anthologies, but in this one my friend Kenneth Hopkins casts his net more widely, I think, than any angler for poems has done before.' ('Foreword'). Moore's thoughtful Foreword is possibly his last original contribution, written as it was very shortly before his death.
