Collected Poems: Six Decades of Clarity and Compassion
A lifetime’s work in verse — more than 150 poems written across six decades, tracing the arc of one man’s attention to the world. By turns fierce, playful, and profoundly humane, these poems resist the noise of modern life and offer instead a quieter kind of truth. With a foreword by Prof. M. Laidlaw and reflections drawn from a life of teaching, wondering, and paying attention.
