In this evocative collection, he takes you on a global odyssey through both untamed wilderness and urban landscapes. Spanning continents, the poems traverse World Heritage Sites and bustling metropolises across Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, and the USA, before ultimately returning to the tranquillity of an English garden. You are taken trekking, climbing, skiing, and orienteering. These poems, ranging from modern sonnets to free verse, also explore the intricate relationships between individuals, nature, and society, delving into themes of dislocation, inequality, hubris, avarice, and love.
