More DescriptionWork, pressure, and anxiety; love, loss, and lighter topics, such as drinking tea and travelling, are explored here with intelligence, sensitivity, and delightful dry humour. Daniels' philosophical mind is much apparent as he observes, quizzes, and draws conclusions; so, too, is the poet's restrained anger, which serves to energise his writing, catalysing the ordinary, here and there, into something more unsettling. It's Daniels' humanity, however, which shines through in this book, and which makes these very finely formed poems seem like a friend to carry with you. This is a wonderful, wry collection of work which I highly recommend. - Mab JonesStephen Daniels is the editor of Fresh Air Poetry. His poetry has been published in numerous magazines and websites. His debut pamphlet 'Tell Mistakes I Love Them' was published in 2017 by V. Press. His second pamphlet '£5 for this love' was published in 2018 by Paper Swans Press.
