Another poem collection from Denis Stokes, a poet that surprises at every turn.

The poems involve an engagement between Canada and Ireland/England/Scotland/Wales.

Part One involves family background, first experiences.

Part Two is a meditation on child poverty through the fictionalized imagining of the writing of the Christmas Carol. It is a protest poem about the lack of effort directed towards Campaign 2000, addressed to Dickens's son (and us, the inheritors of a social vision...alas).

Part Three involves the loss of the poet's brother-in-law and good friend, Henry Crealey.

Part Four goes deeper into present relationships and spiritual explorations.

Enjoy, reflect, and spread the word.
