Book SynopsisA poetry book
Trade ReviewWindward is a compendium of poems written over the period of nine years in the author's turbulent life. The poet emerges from the darkness of his past experiences thanks to the bulwark of hope he finds in his art. His poetry is sometimes sharp and echoing of loss, but it also touches upon wider meanings in a positive and thoughtful way. The reader is led on to experience a life-changing journey. The poet's imagination, feeding on his tumultuous past and on his hopes of a brighter future, follows the guiding light of 'purpose' towards salvation, conjuring dreams of a better life, religious musings and edifying adventures through adversity. Windward could leave you riding a gust of poetic license, or fighting through a raging gale of indignation at society's inequalities - but, however you reach the end, you will remember it. - Frank Nash
