His poetic world is alive and open to the beauty of the landscape and the grace of a people at one with their natural environment. In this collection he faces his own native land and his own life, using a language and a form that is simple, yet compellingly intense. The result is a powerful confrontation with loss -- the loss of childhood and the loss of a beloved father. Parry is able to capture a vanishing world through the examination of his own life. Ultimately, he offers his readers a rare and precious gift: the truth of a life authentically lived. |
