Passing Through the Woods (Paperback)

Buckinghamshire poet David Gwilym Anthony's new book Passing through the Woods is a revised and updated version of his earlier poetry collections Talking to Lord Newborough and Words to Say and includes a number of new poems. David's poems are carefully crafted, touching upon contemporary themes and written using both structured and free verse. David's greatest strength lies in his exquisite sonnets, and the reader is treated to well over two dozen of them in Passing through The Woods. Designed to appeal to fellow poets and the general reader, David Gwilym Anthony has been inspired by poets such as Robert Frost, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Philip Larkin. br> 'I found myself looking at David's work as a whole, wondering what it is that makes it different. I began with what is perhaps his best-known poem Talking to Lord Newborough and read it quietly aloud, pleased with the easy diction and unforced metre. ' Angle Journal of Poetry
