Description

Bathing Strictly Prohibited is a collection of poems inspired by the middle years of the eclectic life of a British entrepreneur. Some days a meeting might feel like the last stand of the Saxons against the Norman conquest; on others the challenges of the day may pale into insignificance compared to the beauty of an autumn sunset. Written between 2011 and 2016, the poems in this collection cover a period in which the author struggled to steer a small business through multiple setbacks while helping to bring up two teenage children. The voice that comes through is coloured by a consistent love of history, humanity, and nature. There is something in these poems for everyone who sets out to achieve or change something, especially while juggling aspiration with commitment to family and love of the world around them.

Featured Reviews

A waves sonority and a dive in the lost and founds of memories and common geographies. Places to blur words, and get verses burnt. Not very special but a lucid chant...
"If now be the time, then let them come.
If this be the place, then let me stand.
For now time stops,
and here I am."
