This is a collection of poetry that mirrors the author's journey through time (six decades) and space (visits to the Middle East, Japan and many parts of North America). It includes selections from Oughton's first four poetry collections, plus new work written over the last ten years. The poems vary considerably in style and theme, ranging from sonnets and haiku to free-form experimentation, and considering technology, science, the nature of language itself, art, music, families, ageing, and the murky fluctuations of the human heart. The poetry is distinguished by a careful ear to the sound of words and lines, a keen and often wry sense of humour, and a celebration of the pleasures and paradoxes of existence at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
