Made Strange By Time
Made Strange by Time comprises lyric poetry inspired by the poet’s awareness of the curious ways in which the passage of time affects us. The tone is reflective, sometimes philosophical and often with a wry, self-deprecatory humour.

By turns poignant, thought-provoking, and gently comic, the collection will have a broad appeal. Putting the Clocks Back Winter’s harvesting autumn from the trees; Another infection has wheeled y...
