Publisher's Synopsis
Every poem tells a story, and the poems in this collection are no exception. A poem like 'Jessie and Josh' is based on the author's early memories, while he and his friend - both passionate writers - were the inspiration for 'Two Old Boys'. 'In My Mind's Eye' is a loving message to his wife, and 'The Old Man' was written for his children, The poem 'I Never Noticed' is based on a friend's comments during a country walk; 'Joe', by contrast, came from conversations overheard while sitting on a park bench in Windermere. With poems that are by turns powerful, emotional, passionate, personal, funny and thoughtful, this is a book to carry with you for those moments of personal contemplation.
