THE BELL OF THE SILENT TOWER

Richard's latest collection, The Bell of the Silent Tower is now complete. It consists of twenty-nine very strong poems. Richard says...

"These poems were written over a period of a year and could be divided by place, mood, structure and season but are not... They are sequenced to create a momentum and balance with the rhythms of nature..."

"... They are located in many diverse places, including two islands, one Western and uninhabited, whose ghosts still rattle the remnants of clay crockery and slam doors as the sea-birds teem with slight-wicked mirth, the other is a calm and breezy haven off the coast of Cornwall, where basking sharks bathe soundly amongst the spectres of wounded smugglers..."

"They live and grow beyond my authorship. They will echo after you read them and sprout through the nails of your fingers..."

THE BELL OF THE SILENT TOWER - OUT NOW. Email for details.
