Life, Love, Politics and Other Silliness

These poems examine life in minute and delightful detail. Keen eyed observations extract hopes, fears and dreams from mundane and exotic landscapes. Classical references sit side by side with modern urban tales. Pain is picked at with exquisite gentleness, while joy dances around the edges of brilliantly balanced wordplay. This is a collection engineered by a master craftsman whose instruments chisel away at doubt and cynicism to reveal sparkling moments of clarity. Poems which can move their readers to laughter and to tears, while guiding them on journeys through time, location and emotion. A remarkable, varied, entertaining and, at times, pensive, display of skill and sensitivity.
