Book Description

The work now respectfully offered to the reader is a collection of sonnets in classical form. The writer is neither a Romantic nor a Modernist, and much herein draws aspects of character from the poetry of the 18th century and from the language of the law, which aspects of character are now instinctive to the writer.The poetry is, in general, serious but with a touch of humour in parts. It touches upon the various aspects of the human condition, including its joys, sorrows, insights, and aspirations. The writer would now respectfully offer the work to his readers, be they his critics or perhaps otherwise.

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.
