Passing Through. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Passing Through

This volume of poems and reflections represents observations, thoughts and a joy in using language in creating poetry. Many of the poems have been shared orally and in writing to a wide variety of audiences. I am a strong advocate of poetry as a creative means of communication.
This collection includes insights to the context and thoughts which surround and enveloped the poems when they were written. There are sonnets- which I adore, rhyming poems, blank verse and some written in the saga tradition.
They are intended to be thought provoking and a fulfilling experience when they are read or proclaimed through speech.

The poems are arranged in small collections, and each poem is followed by a short reflection on what stimulated me to write it. The titles for each collections give some idea of the content and are:

No Mark Made- explores the impact we make during our physical presence.
Réflexion Parisienne – a tribute to a city that I and my family love.
Grá- the Irish word for love.
Canoeing, Running, Walking – how I have spent a lot of my life but maybe not enough.
The End of Truth - a reflection of the duplicitous world we now live in.
Too close to Midnight– the end of our time and a hope we might prevent it.

What meaning you extract is your personal provenance. I look at the context in my past and present but who knows about the future? The world to me was, is and will always be a strange land of paradoxes and dualism and I will always be a stranger passing through.
