Driftwood: Another Voice

Driftwood is a poetic look at the world, covering the span of a lifetime from birth in war torn London to retirement on a small island in Moreton Bay, on Queenslands east coast and the influences of nature upon its author. Robert has enjoyed an interesting broadcasting career in Australia and New Zealand but all through it, he\has been followed by poetry that both stimulates and exhilarates. Driftwood-Another Voice is about whispers we all hear in our minds, that urge us to do and see things in a different light. It is about being able to listen to your positive voice and value it because, like driftwood, it can be washed up on a beach one day and gone on the next high tide. Like driftwood, Roberts poems take us to places around the world and we end up on some unusual beaches. We dance with sparkling streams and even meet some of his unusual spectres but always there are the trees and birds, beaches and mountains. Driftwood is a unique book for people who have a passion for the natural world. Driftwood-The Other Voice, reveals something within all of us, if only we can learn to listen.
