Publisher's Synopsis
Following on from volume one, The Strife And Rhymes Of A Lifetime vol.2 continues with poetry based on spiritual and emotional struggle against the odds, breaking through the external and self-imposed walls around us and observations of human nature and behaviour. With an emphasis on the emotional growth he has experienced throughout the last few years, Richard traverses themes of alienation, friendship, love, past trauma, positive change and gratitude for the blessings of life. There are fifty poems in this second volume, carefully selected to encapsulate the huge personal growth Richard has achieved throughout recent times. It is his hope that this book will further enrich the hearts and minds of readers who, like him, are learning every day to find the light in the darkness within themselves.
