Author of six volumes of poetry, John Rolston's poems often explore the relationship between the mundane and the spiritual, and these lost-love poems are no different. Indeed, it is difficult at times to interpret to which level he is addressing himself, or if, indeed, to both. Lost love, lost God, lost self - the yearning to reclaim the "lost not lost" is a journey through the erotic, desire, hope, resignation and resolve.
