Description
xA Darker Way is a collection of poems and songs by Grahame Davies which traces a hard-won but redemptive path between idealism and irony, failure and faith. These poems are alert to both the superficiality and the seriousness of the everyday, often showing that human feelings are complicated and surprising.
Renowned not only as a poet, but also as a lyricist, Davies' lyrics explore belief and unbelief, meaning and mystery, dealing with love and loss with both realism and compassion. The spiritual, even the supernatural, is never far from the surface in these poems, but Davies never settles for the simplistic. His quiet, unassuming style is powerful, moving, and redemptive.
