Full Description
From love lost to love found, from humorous observations on the coronation of King Charles and smart meters, to an outcry against the stupidities of violence and war. This collection of poems ranges over a variety of human issues and feelings.
Using free and classical forms with echoes of Yeats, Milton and Emily Bronte, they are both an expression of life experiences and a search for that which transcends life.
