Giant Footsteps

Bill Milton’s poetry is a tour de force and is never far away from the experience of every day life and treads a fine line between the sublime and humourous. Most readers will be able to identify with many of the subjects covered, as Milton’s poetry manages to vividly paint a picture of daily life in postwar Britain.

Many of the poems have hidden depths intended to invoke a smile with some clever wordplay. This is Milton’s second collection in his trilogy of light-hearted poetry.

Bill Milton started his working life on the production line in a factory before joining a Merchant Bank in the City where he spent over 30 years, culminating in him becoming head of the training department in a Swiss Bank. Following his retirement, Milton started to write poetry for friends and family and was persuaded to have a collection of his work published.
