Beschreibung
... through slow-turning days ... is Peter Burges' first collection of poems. The collection consists of a wide range of poems that touch upon family, himself, as well as the people, cultures, religions, histories, ideologies and places he has experienced throughout his life, and which are, as Shane McCauley puts it in the Foreword, "e;vividly distilled in many of the poems in this diverse, profoundly thoughtful, moving and frequently surprising collection"e;. Shane goes on to write: "e;... there is a huge range of moods, subjects, emotions and themes in this ambitious and continuously engaging collection. The deeper and darker pieces are effectively counter-balanced by lighter, if often wry and droll, topics and ideas. The sardonic often rubs shoulders with the bucolic. If there is sometimes a form of gallows humour, humour it still very definitely remains.
