Glimpses

Glimpses is a collection of poems arising from the author’s life-experiences, ranging from early life in a Blitzed Coventry slum, through work in heavy industry, university life and academia, together with musings on family life, bereavement and pastoral care of many as an Anglican priest. It is a collection about doubt and the compensations of faith, family and friends.
