Swing High

In this varied collection two main sections - Poems and Translations - range from haiku and pithy rhymed verses to longer free-verse explorations, from epigrammatic couplets to ballads and sonnets. Topics encompass nature, art, history, music, travel and spiritual reflections. Locations move from Wales to Ireland, from France to Spain. Styles are accessible throughout, and readers with a general interest in poetry should find much to their taste. The overall title Swing High can resonate far beyond the confines of the poem to which it is attached.
