The poems are in a confessional style and in the vein of the American \u003cem\u003eBeat\u003c\/em\u003e tradition. They explore themes of reflection, relationships, family and friendships, the passing of time, parenthood, sport, transport, work, the ageing process, routines, the seasons, contemporary events and social realism. Many appeared in their original format in the small press magazines of both the UK and America at the time of writing. All the poems have been updated with revisions and additions for this new collection, which continues the gradual reissue of all Andy Botterill's published poetry. He considers his work to be from the perspective of the outsider, loner or casual observer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46380302893207,"sku":"9798231902620","price":1111.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798231902620.webp?v=1768769342","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-wind-changes-direction-9798231902620","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
