In this, his second collection of verse, celebration remains a dominant theme of many of the poems, a celebration tempered, though, by the universal experience of loss and grief. Thus the verse sequence Chagall at Tudeley is both an appreciation of a great artist's genius and an exploration of the loss that gave rise to it. Inevitably, perhaps, there are a number of Covid related poems, and many have a biographical aspect. Artworks form the inspiration for others, and philosophical and religious concerns inform others. There is even A Disturbing Encounter with a strange woman in a Cornish churchyard: two, in fact! Though one is a fictional exercise in creating an old-style ballad.
