Tickled by the absurdities of life and in awe of nature’s complexities, Duncan Jay shares his thoughts on the comedy and tragedy, the calm and tumultuous, the light and darkness from the circle of life. These poems look at life from ground level, how people, flora and fauna act individually and together.

Duncan is also drawn to create a visual element to his thoughts with use of his photography of textures, colours, shapes and patterns that people and the natural world produce. It is a combination of poems, single lines and stanzas that either create an image in mind or a story to follow.

The poetry and pictures are there to make you think about how life really is; whether happy, sad, tragic, inspiring, offensive, complementary, comical or damned right absurd. Words and images come together in this book to create the Musings of a Misunderstood Man.
