The Time of Singing

'The time of the singing of men is come, Singing of birds, Singing of men. For the severed branch the time of pruning Is a time of singing...' In his second volume of poetry, Graham McLanachan muses on life, death and eternity. In 'Waitress', the briefest of encounters encapsulates a message about existence. In 'The Twentieth Watch', the music of Messiaen inspires contemplation and in 'The Broom', nature stands up to Death. With gentle lyricism throughout, The Time of Singing is a thought-provoking collection, ideal for moments of contemplation.
