Publisher's Synopsis
Imagination and intellect, a mantra close to the heart of Nigel Smith and his appreciation of - and approach to - poetry, fills the pages of this book. Selected are one hundred poems that range in scope from romantic love to the beauty of nature to social commentary. Whether being swept away by the breathtaking journey of first loves and longing that is reminiscent of the early romantic poets or left to sit in deep thought over the sharp philosophical and witty social pieces within, readers will find themselves not just reading the words, but experiencing them on an emotional level. Until now, Smith has shared his work with a close-knit community of poets where he gathers much from feedback and stimulating discussions on the art of poetry. Now, he shares his words with you. He hails from northern England where he lives with his wife and two children. This is his first collection of poetry
