The Wind Changes Direction combines the poems of the 2007 full collection of the same name and the 2009 full collection Celebrations of Life by Exeter poet and novelist Andy Botterill in one poetry book. The poems are in a confessional style and in the vein of the American Beat tradition. They explore themes of reflection, relationships, family and friendships, the passing of time, parenthood, sport, transport, work, the ageing process, routines, the seasons, contemporary events and social realism. Many appeared in their original format in the small press magazines of both the UK and America at the time of writing. All the poems have been updated with revisions and additions for this new collection, which continues the gradual reissue of all Andy Botterill's published poetry. He considers his work to be from the perspective of the outsider, loner or casual observer.
