| 'In the Blink of an Eye' is a compelling, poetically courageous collection of poems which evokes a long, and intensely felt, experience of life. It is full of gems of expression, emotion and thought. John wrote most of the poems in his middle thirties during a challenging time in his life. The only exception was the Preface which came to him in 2001 while he was in Australia. As John says: 'I see the Preface as being inspired by what I call the"e,Crocodile Dundee"e, philosophy of the comparative insignificance of humans compared to the everlasting environment we live in.' |
