Ken E. Smith of Pennine Platform said this about the 48-page Limbo Time:

Gerald England in makes a very different impact, often arriving rather unobtrusively in a city, so that readers are led well into the poem before quite noticing how far they have come. Then the poem ends rather quickly: typically one feels as if some sleight-of-hand has moved one from one place to another. In the title poem the poet uses the familiar ritual of turning the clock back to raise metaphysical issues in a light tone.

Stella Stocker of Weyfarers said:

Gerald England shows his ability to make imagery work to create the atmosphere, resonance and feeling and mastery of apt and original language.

And Peter Thabit Jones of Swagmag called it "a strong collection from one of the big names of the small press scene. The poems delight and challenge. England never disappoints the reader. This is a fine example of his work and vision.

Check out what Taproot Reviews had to say about Stealing Kisses:

"Gerald England is a whiz with traditional form and structure and this chapbook plays to all his strengths. From obviously rhymed to subtle internal couplings, these poems deftly flesh out carefully constructed frameworks of form and style, yet maintain a powerful narrative throughout genuinely crafted poetry in the best sense of the tradition."
