More Than Just Memories (häftad, eng)

Rites of passage, troubled voices, love and loss, nature, heroes, war, environmental crises. Tony Ward’s poems invite us to relive the experiences, triumphs, and tragedies that waymark our lives and that of our planet.

This is a collection of two halves.

Thirty-one of the poems have been previously published in various forms, broadcast on local radio, appeared on film, or won prizes, the other thirty are new.

Among other sources, Tony has drawn upon his popular Poetry+ series for the lifestyle magazine Sussex Life.

Then, following his wife’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease, Tony began writing words of comfort during the pandemic lockdowns for the Alzheimer’s Society social media.

Informative, entertaining, thought provoking, humorous, verse traditional and freestyle, and above all easily understood.

This is a collection to be savoured. You may even recognise yourself reflected at times.

If you find some modern poetry hard going, then this is the book for you. Like the much-loved long-running “Classics for Pleasure” record label, this is “Poetry for Pleasure”, a collection to dip into whatever your mood Go for it!
