The 39 poems, a selection from the work of several years, range widely, from the precisely-observed descriptive to the philosophical, from the lyrical to the (subtly) polemical, from moments captured to stories told. They share precision of language, clarity of expression, and a revealing of the deeply felt.
“One poem stopped me dead with its haunting music… Thank you, thank you for The Traveller, which rescued me for a moment from my bleak New York life. It has the glimmer of the mysteries I sensed in your landscape.”
Edward Field, prize-winning American poet and editor

Ron Woollard in New Hope International Review
