Ranging from profound tragedy to earthy humour, passing through pathos, bitterness the ridiculous and the pastoral on the way, this new collection charts my poetic progress since Tinted With Red.
Richer and more satisfying than its predecessor, Leaping into the Wind is both a more compact and a wider ranging collection.
As with Tinted With Red, it is presented as a compact, pocket edition...
A fragmentary record of my journey through life, of my dreams, hopes and fears, and my impressions of the things that I have found here.
Published in January 2007, it contains all of the poetry written up to that date that I wish to be preserved....
It is designed as a compact volume that can be slipped into most jacket pockets...
Some of the poems I have written since can be found in 'Leaping into the Wind'
Creativity, in various forms, has formed a significant aspect of my life for some time now. I have dabbled in various forms, but, from my personal perspective, the two areas central to my muse are poetry and pictures. This collection explores the latter. It embraces paintings, photographs, computer generated artwork, and various combinations of those.
This is where my printed works are. All four of them.... Two books of my poetry and two books of my art....
