“Flitting sparrows flock in silent silhouette
And practice their calligraphy
Perched on the evening“
In this beautifully concise debut, Manchester poet John Clifford pays tribute to love, connection and human passion in the world at large.
Drawing on the beauty and chaos of nature with the lilting cadence of the Romantic era, these verses are stuffed with compassion and a soft appreciation for all that has been loved, all that has been lost and all that was subsequently found.
“Fireside odes and verses that speak of love, longing and loss applied with a filigree touch.”
- April Manderson
