Homecoming: Poems of Time and Place (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781789634914)

These poems of Time and Place, collected over thirty years, span times and places from the distant past to the present, and from natural and elemental settings too those we inhabit. They are poems of light and shade in equal measure, symptomatic, questioning, celebrating nature and human creativity as well as rising to challenge and protest, especially when it comes to the repeating tragedies of war.

As a collection, it invites the reader to consider each poem from that perspective: the sense in which each represents a 'homecoming' whether to their human origins and past history, to Nature or to the challenges of the present and the reactions that such challenges evoke. What sort of 'home ' is being created- freely or otherwise- for human beings and for all life on Earth?
