Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These poems are inspired by David Lythgoe's world-wide travels, the natural world, our place in the universe, and a (still) developing love of being alive.

Youthful misdemeanours, accidents and mature aspirations (not all were successful) are recounted with equal candour.…
