“Jules Leigh Koch is a poet who, like the French and Australian Impressionists work den plein air.  He is a colourist, a sketcher with words, who sets up his easel at the beach, in city streets, suburban backyards and gum forests.  With affection, he records the quotidian details of our suburbs because they are ours – this is the environment we have made, it’s where so many of us live.  While not blind to their faults and disappointments this poet takes on the function of celebrating our lives.”
