Joy Change focuses on Kendall's years spent teaching in Japan. Sharply observed, beautifully honed and brimming with wit and humanity, this second collection establishes Judy Kendall as an accomplished and highly talented poet.

Praise for Judy Kendall's poetry:

"Judy Kendall's poems... demand that we make connections. ...they invite both sensual associations and the enquiring mind. ...what is left unsaid is rich with sharply-cut details... "
Philip Gross

"... delightful, precise and carefully observed... Judy Kendall shows her enviable qualities of clear perception, scrupulous self-awareness and the knack for the mot juste. You can hear a pin drop in the silence and tension between the lines."
