Growth Rings

Exploring themes of family and childhood memories, this poetry collection delves into the impact of public disasters like war and nuclear testing on personal lives. The author intertwines domestic experiences with spiritual and political elements, creating a rich tapestry of emotion. Short, vivid pieces provide haunting insights, while longer poems, such as the elegiac tribute to two local fishermen, showcase a versatile approach to form. The evocative landscape of north Wales, especially Bardsey Island, serves as a poignant backdrop for these reflections.
