A Quickening Love

the long version

A collection that celebrates the pleasure and pain of love, the power and mystery of nature, the wonder and sacredness that surround us. The simplicity of the style counterpoints a deeper quest to explore aspects of life which vibrate in the soul and chime in the mind. This book is the follow up to “Upon the Inward Eye”. Subscribing to the view that “a poet’s autobiography is his poetry” (Yevgeny Yevtushenko) – though of course, poetry is many things – the author believes the words should flow, however they appear. This book is testament to that belief.
