Line in the Sky

There's a lovely spare clarity to the beautifully sculpted prose poems that make up Lines in the Sky a sense of poignancy that is always well controlled as themes of love, loss, memory, family and friendship weave together. The poet s ear for music combine with his visual acuity to make this an accomplished debut collection, rich in affective imagery, evocative and haunting.

I mean, it s almost as if we had somehow outlived,
outgrown life s welcome that we rehearsed for so long
final goodbyes, our leave taking and that one last thing
remembered, and just before parting, spoken.
