Summer Roses

Share the poet's delight in the sights, sounds and scents of the natural world in this vibrant collection of poems. Visualise the 'fields of emeralds', hear the 'blackbird's dulcet song', and smell the 'fragrant hedge' around a garden in summertime. Enter too the intriguing world of classical antiquity and mythology. The poet writes of great empires long disappeared and distant wars long forgotten. He conjures up the extraordinary powers of the former gods and goddesses, Hindu, Greek and Roman. Here beauty and mystery form a constant theme. But most of all it is the summer roses which inspire and comfort.
