Sudden Life

This is a collection of poetry that, like an inspiring piece of music or riveting painting creates a new way of looking at the world. While fused with images of the natural environment these poems also delve into universal, timeless themes that make the poems unique and memorable. According to the author, "Poetry in the 21st century has become largely irrelevant because it has been made inaccessible and difficult by poets writing for other poets. But poetry can be like a new language, a way of addressing ideas and feelings that just can't be reached in ordinary discourse. A good poem should be accessible, relevant and add a small insight, a discovery, to life that can be revisited again and again. I hope these poems rise to that standard."
