These are just my highlights, though. Elsewhere, Holland talks of his struggles with mental ill health, overflows with more love for his son, tells stories of people he has met throughout his life, and just generally offers his own unique perspective on just about everything. I found the poems vivid and striking and often unexpected. There's kitchen sink comment, romantic musings, and a dollop of cri de coeur. There is light and shade, pleasure and pain. I can't imagine a person who wouldn't find something to like here.
It's always nice to find a writer with a clearly genuine and original voice. Barry Holland is one of those. I would like to read more from him.
You might also enjoy [[Walking Home by Simon Armitage]] - an engaging walk down the Pennine Way, told by a poet with a great command of the English language. You get thoughts on loneliness and some poems, too.
