Dreams of a Lifetime Gordon Walmsley 1. izdevums

In Dreams of a Lifetime, the poet Gordon Walmsley casts his gaze back over the span of his life, writing with a maturity of feeling that allows nature, childhood memories and observations of the contemporary world to stream freely through the poems. He blends the roomy and convivial rhythms of the American South with the lapidary quietude he encountered on first coming to Denmark, and in that space of thought and light which he came to appreciate, his mood rests in the moment and presence of being. Dreams of a Lifetime is attuned both to the cycles of nature and of human consciousness, and as such is a prescient voice in our current time.
