Beskrivelse
The industrial past. Stories of real people. Arts and culture. History and contemporary life. Merseyside provides almost an embarrassment of riches enough to inspire any poet!

I came to appreciate and genuinely love Merseyside as I wrote this collection during the Covid-19 lockdown of spring 2020. Inspired by places I had visited over the years and tales of people I encountered along the way. Some of these are people I actually met; others are those who left their mark on history now brought to life once more through the power of my poetic words."
