Beating Heart

This exceptional collection of poetry combines humour and tragedy, skilfully weaving a pattern of life, from the Greek epic and the battlefields of the Second World War, to a portrayal of social graces and emotional turmoil, combining an infectious sense of fun with the most stirring passions, as B. D. Wilson invites the reader into his uniquely structured world.My World? What I see, touch, know.I am the humorist of my little cell,Laughing in derision at the warping bars of care,Feasting in seclusion upon the chocolate keyThat locks the futile door.My world now is furnished withThe tapestry of light.
