This fabulous poetry collection is like an old photograph album. As the pages are turned, so Chris Baldwin's poems bring childhood friendships and family life, schooldays and loved ones, back into sharp focus once more. He evokes a past which will resonate profoundly with those of a certain age. Yet his poems speak to us all as he captures the minutiae of family life, the deep ties that bind the generations, the angst of youthful passion and the aching grief of loss. He illuminates his subjects with freshness, humour, intensity and a deftness of touch wrought by a keen eye for detail and a memory to match. Thus, the old black and white photographs in the album which is Baldwin's mind are transformed into vivid and colourful images on the pages of this life-affirming little book.
