It was a formative time of my life. I was married to the love of my life and father of two young boys. But I was influenced by the tensions between my work environment and the natural world around me. It was a period when a mid-life crisis made itself felt. So my na�ve poetry provided a form of release from my concerns about the state of society and the relentless onslaught on the natural world by population growth, housing sprawl and suchlike. It was a time when \"Greenie\" was a dirty word in conservative society. I felt like a hypocrite to both sides of the argument. Thank goodness we can now reasonably assume that everyone is a Greenie with the sad revelations confronting us about Climate Change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeekends at Macclesfield in the 2000's during the stressful days of running my own business provided a welcome respite and an opportunity for my concerns to unravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, retirement to Macclesfield from 2014 brought an opportunity to think more about different styles of poetry and to try some of them out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strong \u0026 Bold Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883739299991,"sku":"9798233726989","price":980.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798233726989.webp?v=1781103667","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/one-mans-poetry-9798233726989","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
