- Book Synopsis
- The present volume, entitled Later Sonnets, continues the writer's exploration of the classical form. If the earlier work drew upon the eighteenth century and the language of the law, here the hand is surer, the voice more seasoned, and the reflections more tempered by experience. The poems remain serious in their general cast, yet moments of wit and humanity are not absent. They range across the landscape of the human spirit, considering with candour its trials, renewals, and quiet revelations. Once again, the writer respectfully submits this collection to the discernment of his readers, whether they approach in sympathy, in judgement, or perhaps both.
- About The Author
- The author was born into a dock-side family in Bootle near Liverpool England in 1944 being the third child of parents of little education. From a nearby school he won a scholarship to a grammar school in the affluent suburbs going from there to a university and later becoming a barrister. Being now elderly and in retirement, he finds within him the soul of a poet for which he thanks God and the Christian Brother of Ireland who first of all led him to seek the mind of a scholar.
