'Camouflaged Beasts is designed to be re-read, each reading can reveal another layer or aspect to these poems. They are not showy, decorative pieces that a reader only needs to see once, but rather crafted, honed poems that not only invite a reader back but reward repeated readings.'    Emma Lee
 
'Subject matter and rhythm are working together, and Lauder is alert to this. Like any good poet he has command of a range of rhythms and has an ear for the most appropriate. . . .  It pays to read these poems aloud.'    D. A. Prince
 
'Lauder’s poems are never predictable. They make us look closely at the world, then look again.'      Pam Thompson
