Love and Armour

There are many episodes that make up a life - traumas, victories and kindnesses. And the words about those episodes provide an accompaniment, they throw light and small harnesses around the wildness. Love and armour is the interplay between experiences and the words that tried to accord those experiences respect. It contains poems and the stories that tell what was happening when the poems were written.

Spanning 20 years of life in the city and in the country. Relationships that worked, if but for a time, and relationships that were never going to work. Spanning the movement from suburban frustration to revolutionary zeal, and back again to a point of deemed balance.

There are worldly battles and failures at close quarters. Harshness and its counter-point, the spaces where harshness would not intrude. Hope and fantasy, and striving for solid ground. No matter the cruel sky, watch the slow burn of irrepressible light.
