| Publisher Description: From the scenic slopes of New Zealand's Southern Alps to the searing sun of Nevada's southern desert; from Aussie gold to Irish green (and variations in between ) the poetic craft of John Mullin has developed from infant steps to that higher level of maturity where mastery (at times) may be conferred. Fragments is thus a poetic collection of different classical forms from the 14-line Sonnet (English and Italian) to Spenserian Stanzas with Limericks and other nameless variations in between. It reflects at length on the human condition from the perspective of both participant and silent observer with the greater emphasis on the latter. Such is part of the essence of classical poetry - to hold, as it were, a mirror up to Nature though its glass may be found broken in Fragments |
