Helvetian Harmonies J a Bosworth

If, amongst the major attributes of memorable poetry, are the abilities simultaneously to please and inform the reader in relevant and stylish manners, then this volume of original poems should more than simply satisfy such expectations. The poems in this collection encompass varied classical and modern subjects and themes in forms, (whether long or short), both regular and innovative. (The final couplet in most of the sonnets, for example, has a supplementary metrical foot intended to suggest completion). Poets often see through visionary eyes things that may be outwith common experience or comprehension. Such extraordinary perceptions can sometimes endow poets with unusually insightful combinations of thought, feeling and inventive expression.
