About This Book

A lyrical collection of short poems anchored in rural landscapes and local life, portraying courting, village lanes, churchyards, and the Malvern Hills alongside seasonal birdsong and harvest imagery. The verses often use plain, folk-inflected language to express longing, memory, and quiet grief, while several pieces turn outward to Mediterranean and American scenes for travel‑tinged reflections. Recurring themes include the consolation of the earth, passing time, spiritual yearning, and the small rituals of everyday existence. The book groups pastoral songs, child‑songs, and miscellaneous meditations, balancing intimate domestic detail with contemplative, nature‑centred observation.
