Poetry

In February of 2013 poet Dane Swan came up with what he thought was a novel idea for a poetry anthology: Invite poets strictly through his personal social media network of friends, and colleagues. Expecting maybe 4 or 5 responses he was floored to receive over 20. Expecting to compile and edit 30 pages of poetry he was delighted to put together a collection with 3 times that amount of content.

This is Mary Smith's first full collection of poetry and the poems cover many landscapes from the wilds of Scotland to the stunning and dramatic mountains of Afghanistan. Thousands Pass Here Every Day is equally wide-ranging in its subject matter from memories of childhood to family loss; from lives lived with war as a constant backdrop to observations of Scottish city life

Soul of a Wolf completes the eclectic Poetry of a Veteran trilogy. The author shares some of his feelings about the constant struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, his views on life and how it affects him on a daily level. The poems portray the betrayal of Veterans by the System, alongside moments of hope, connections with nature and some romance with a sprinkling of humour.

Poetry about life and its challenges.
