With Feathers on Glass

Saturated in folklore and myth, this poetry collection explores cultural differences through the lens of rural art and the distribution of glass paintings, reflecting humility towards the illiterate. It intertwines childhood memories with the decline of High Street department stores, creating a personal mythology of grand motifs and ruins. The poet begins anew after a long silence, grounding the work in concrete facts from his Nottingham home, while also examining the simplification of court art forms. Themes of distance and recreation resonate throughout.
