About the Book

This is the third collection of poems from a vast body of work. This latest collection is from the early years of Michael's work and dates from his years at Balliol and not only takes influences from here but also from his Liverpool upbringing and his friends from early adulthood.
This collection follows 'Cuttings From A Notebook' and 'Had I Created Me...' and these poems (plus a couple of prose articles) have recently been made available for publication following their submission from one such friend.
