Short EternitiesShort Eternities is not one poetry collection, but eight - a sequence that sums up the calculated insight and undying optimism of poet James Martin. From the warm touch of Autumn Leaves to the cutting but playful Sixty Sexy Sonnets, the 220 poems contained herein encapsulate the sum total of the poet's worldview. With verses that balance philosophy, religion and humour - alongside pen portraits of friends and personal influences (alongside cats) - Short Eternities digs deep for its emotional centre but always remains accessible, and always betrays the author's unquenchable enthusiasm for compassion and love. |
