Publisher's Synopsis
This is John Deed's second volume of poetry and continues the quest to find answers to some key themes of life: love, facets of humanity, nature and existence. The understanding and perception of these subjects is, of course, shaped by the mind and therefore a whole gamut of mood from light to dark.
Over 100 poems trying to make sense of the crazy times we live in and our impact on our little planet. They'll take you on a roller coaster ride from "heart on the sleeve" personal experience to acutely observed details from afar. From love to war, from pristine nature to its destruction, from English village cricket to global politics to the great cosmos! It's a book you can pick up and put down depending on your mood and come back to time and again to find new meaning. But the poems will always leave the reader thinking about subjects great and small in a new light. And given the uncertain times we live in, many provide a means to finding perspective or an escape ladder back to terra firma or just a companion so you know you're not alone. In support of better mental health for all £1 (GBP) from every book sale will be donated to MIND charity.
