Sinopsis

A Poet's notebook... with new poems...obviously... includes not just recent favourites, television and radio commissioned poems, some freshly minted verse written especially for this book but also notes and gives the background on how, why, and where the poems were written. Such documentary reportage and wider contemporary reflection gives a fascinating insight into the genesis, development and presentation of the 30 poems chosen. In effect, the book is part journal, part commentary on the wider implications of 'how did we all end up here'? It addresses the light and shade of our days, the celebrations and catastrophes, and acutely observes the collective state and soul of 'this one life'. Complete with the poet's trademark humour encouraging the reader to practice, once again, child-like glee. These are poems you can whistle, sing, chant... and be silent with.

De la contraportada

Liverpool-born Stewart Henderson is a bestselling poet, broadcaster, and songwriter. A Poet's Notebook comprises 21 of his poems preceded by an engrossing commentary on the sources and development of each. The book features a rare combination of poetic journal, travelogue and cultural almanac complete with the poet's trademark humour and pertinent observations. With reflections on Emily Dickinson, C.S Lewis, Malcolm McLaren, P.G. Wodehouse, and maritime Liverpool, alongside accounts of personal encounters with Malcolm Muggeridge, Madeline L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time) and Alastair Reid, A Poet's Notebook is primarily an examination of our collective, restless soul as we ask: how did we end up here? This is British wit and poetry at its best.
