Burning Bright

‘Here is a fresh collection of poems with broad sympathies and deep understanding of individuals and their lives. It has a cumulative power as it moves from past to present and the inevitable decline that awaits us. Often but not only elegiac, these poems are full of people and places, strongly evoked through observant details, graphic language, vivid images and sharp sense impressions, all of which bring past and present to intense life on the page and which resonate memorably in the mind.’ (Duncan Forbes)
