DREAM SHROUD

About the Book

This collection of poems represents over 40 years of writing, starting with poems produced in teenage years and ending with others written in the poet’s 60th year. Whilst some have an autobiographical flavour, the majority are observations and reflections on life in general – recognisable by the reader in the modern age. The overall mood is one of gloom and cynicism, bemoaning man’s condition in this day and age, but intermingled amongst these are poems displaying love, humour and witticisms, all incorporating creative play of language and structure.
