REFLECTIONS IN CANTERBURY

About the Book

“REFLECTIONS IN CANTERBURY” is not only a collection of poetry, verse and lyric myths. It is also a record of experiences while in hardship and affliction. This is an autobiography of an orphan-poet who tells not only her own story but those who lost their way. The artiste creates beauty out of poverty as she lives her work amongst Philadelphia’s disabled poor and homeless. Gareth England chooses those of low estate and transforms them into gemstones. Her genuine sense of expression and imagination are truely sublime. The author’s esoteric style is most favorable and the Old English flavor in her lyric myths is indeed noteworthy. An inspirational Read to say the least:
