Description
From the mirage of London to the streets of Bangkok, penned on the run and written largely in the frontline trenches of financial services in New York, these poems offer an intimation of one person’s journey through the house of mirrors that is life.
They record an adolescent search for answers to the big spiritual questions: Is God there? And if so, does he care? The anger and doubt when answers seem so inadequate, when tested against the razor of experience.
They also observe life, family, and the humour and joy that is to be found in the most unexpected places. And, surprisingly, the emergence of the conviction that, above all, we are loved. The best is yet to be.
Advance Praise
“This is a stunning collection of poems by Craig Dinsell I would have loved to publish. Walking the Serpentine is the author's full display of his wry, sardonic and deeply affectionate poetic voice. His landscape is us -- spiritually, culturally, both collectively and individually. He amplifies all that it means to live and breathe on this wondrous planet, with both chagrin and humor. We see the full dimensionality of our privilege. Bravo!”
William D. Trego, publisher, Meadow Run Press.
“Craig challenges the reader, he provides a real sense of self improvement and self-reflection to better oneself. There is nothing gentle about this poetry but that in itself is part of its huge charm and effect. Upon reading the poems you don’t just read and nod in agreement or see a lovely image but rather he focuses on people (rather than nature for example) but sees broken people, wronged people, people seeking something more and the human struggle that means we can all empathise with it because we all struggle with something."
Julian Briscoe, Advisor to the Diocese of Truro.
