Covid Spring
​
The Coronavirus has disrupted every part of our lives in profound ways, it has been the biggest change agent since the Cold War and no one has been immune from the effects.
Within these pages I have tried to capture some of these momentous times, good and bad, with my verse as the drama unfolds.
Basic Existential Boy​
​
There is no hiding in a book like this, his poems and his heart are on show for all the world to see. But, and here is the point, his poems merely hold the mirror up to the reader. So it is the reader who is exposed.
His free-flowing verse, unhindered by academic rigour and grammar, breezes through universal themes and personal follies alike. They contour around aching, existential questions which lie at the heart of every true poet and prophet: Who are we? Why are we? Where are we going?
These questions are shaped around the themes of social history, spirituality, nature, motherhood and the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Read this book, savour it, reflect on it, return to it again and again. Each time there is more to see.
