Following on from his debut collection 'Return to Kemptown', 'The End of Summer' is a poetry collection capturing both the every-moment of perpetual seasons as well as the vital minutiae of daily life, all wrapped up a whirl of words like autumn leaves kicked up by the last of summer's winds taking nature's contradictions and her false promises and casts them over our human condition, as hopeful and nostalgic disciples of the glorious sun and the beautiful snow. Told often in taut, short little pieces, the book invites comparisons with the poet Hugo Williams but also shows a love of music through two of the author's own favourite music groups with July Skies and Epic 45, which explores the Englishness of the countryside in sparse, echoing brush-stroke, s which often need more than one read to breathe the images he portraits. With an introduction by noted American writer, Amanda Silbernagel. 'The End of Summer' is a book that tunnels into memories, creating new emotions at the end of it
