Those Distant Shores

Those Distant Shores holds over seventy more poems from the next three collections - Terug, Old Friends, New Friends and Conti-mental - from the introspective poet, Stephen Brown.
Following directly on from Outback Dreaming, these give a glimpse into the thought processes of the author upon his return from Australia and for roughly the next year of his life.
He spent some time visiting friends before packing up his car and heading out onto Continental Europe and, as we are used to by now, capturing his experiences during these tempestuous times in his own peculiar styles of verse.
Titles this time are again diverse: A Lovecraftian Ballad, Sufi Skinny Dipping and I Wonder If Gandhi Had a Dog, sitting mixed up between Feeling Faithless in Brighton, Warm Coloured Curtains and Innocence II – What I Would Do With a Time Machine.
From Australia to Brighton, to Holland to Belgium, Those Distant Shores is a wonderful mixture of melancholy and the ridiculous. Pick a favourite...
