A wagtail’s eccentric walk ... a teeming industrial landscape ... the alienation of a “misfit” …
Readers can be told about these things, but when the words spring naively from relatively untutored feeling they can share the essence of them, deepening their appreciation of nature. Yet increasingly, this natural instinct is being lost in our rush to adapt to the world we live in.
The Essence of Nature is a collection of poems ranging widely over many aspects of nature: landscapes of town and industry, country and sea, weather, animals, and people in a variety of situations and their effect on the author’s feelings and mood.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Beautiful words which often expertly express the need to move on and how difficult and fearful it can be.
... beautifully crafted and evocative poetry, capturing nature's physical transience and symbolism of change, renewal and time passing, the duality of death and rebirth. Also nature as a metaphor for personal growth; a longing for permanence with a sense of gentle melancholy. His poems weave thoughtful metaphors, conveying the essence of the intimate and universal with masterful contrast of the playful and reflective, a keen eye for detail and talent for expressing complex emotions with grace.
Roger Homer's poems resonate with my readers. He gets to the heart of the matter elegantly, often with a smile but poignancy too.
