Details
The choices we make - between music and silence, impulse and security; between the 'torn land' and the 'dazzling sea' - feature strongly in this new collection of poems by Paul Henry.
A twenty-first century muse is rehoused in the jazz clubs and seedy hotels of European cities. Yet the loss of a mother, a singer, depicted in a sequence which closes the book, brings back to heart what ultimately matters: that early music which shapes all our longings.
Paul Henry was born in Aberystwyth in 1959. He currently lives in Gwent with his wife and three sons. Originally a singer-songwriter, he combines freelance writing with working as a Careers Adviser. In 1989 he received an Eric Gregory Award.
