More Words on Paper

Within these pages you will find the full range of a human life: grief, quiet and unadorned, and joy of the most ordinary and most precious kind. There are poems about fathers, mothers and children, old friends, country roads and rainy days, and the stubborn courage it takes simply to keep going. Some will make you smile, others may bring a tear to the corner of your eye, and often they will do both at once.

This is the second book in the series, following Words on Paper.

You will meet Little Johnny across several poems, a cheeky, endearing figure who brings comic relief and the easy delight of a well-told yarn. You will meet other people too, reckoning quietly with all they have seen. They are not grand or distant figures but the people next door, the people we are, or hope to be, carrying their burdens with dignity and their joys with gratitude.
