Neo-Nature

This striking new collection of Love-Nature poems combines these elements skilfully into evocative and sometimes erotic narrative pieces. I liked the sentence at the beginning that 'he who follows Nature is never out of his Way. Jay is a follower of both love and nature, a lover of life in its many expressions. There is woodland, butterflies, Cornish coastline, swallows, Jupiter and blackberries. Here are a few choice lines:

'Only if the seed relinquishes its shell does it become all the seed can be.'

'Only the silence is what we need to hear the choir of birdsong all around.'

Poetry is a subtle form of nourishment, and this volume makes a good feast.
