Towards Babingley (häftad, eng)

In this collection Paul Berry evokes settings with a strong sense of place and past. Against such backgrounds he explores universal themes of family, love, loss and longing. The strength of these poems is to highlight landscapes and the people who live and pass through them, combining to celebrate the extra-ordinary nature of the ordinary, familiar and everyday.
