Collected Poems 2006 - 2016

Book excerpt: The culmination of ten years study and poetic toil, these collected poems span an uncertain decade finding the author torn between a rural coastal nature and the spirit of Western cultural progress. It contains a manifold of voices united in a uniquely philosophical and poetic perspective, emanating and sometimes indeed hailing from the hinterland of a coastal town in Western Wales. As is the poets' way many musings reflect on values, romance and its relationship to chaos and the decline of youth into the flush of maturity. These are powerful and wide-ranging poems from the turn of the 21st century.
