Description

In this the second collection of John Eliot's work, the poet draws inspiration from a variety of sources and influences. He was a teacher of religion and the reader will find examples of poems that reflect this. Similarly history comes into play: the bones of Richard III were found in his old schoolyard and Richard's wife, Anne Neville, was married to her first husband in Angers Cathedral, close to his home in France. There is a poem in this collection about her. The death of the poet's mother affected him deeply and is reflected in his poetry, as is the death the same year of two close friends. Elsewhere, readers will find the influence of music, where his tastes are broad and eclectic. He plays with words as a musician plays with notesI love music. My tastes are broad. I play with words as a musician such as Miles Davis plays with notes. Dotted throughout this collection are the line drawings of Dave Daggers.

Author Biography:

Poet and novelist John Eliot was born in Leicester, England, the son of the local GP, Thomas Eliot. His early interests in writing and music came together when, as editor of his university student newspaper, he interviewed reggae legend Bob Marley. He also had articles published in the fan magazines of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. John taught in the south-west of England before moving to France with his wife. He now writes full-time. His poems can be found in anthologies. His first collection of poetry, 'Ssh!', was published in 2014, as was his novel 'The Good Doctor'. He is the founder of the literary festival in St Clementin, France.
