The Other Side Of Autumn: Selected Poems 1969 - 2022 - Paperback

by David Phipps (Author)

Never again can joy be so free
As in the youthful tide.
No! Now that I've tasted,
Have heard, do see,
Autumn's other side.

The Other Side of Autumn is a collection of free verse and rhyming poetry that explores the fundamental paradoxes of human nature. Its subjects are varied, and David explores them with equal candor and joy: the Christian faith, the rapid change and brevity of life, the counterintuitive nature of success and fulfilment, and the fact that melancholy and sadness can often lead to renewed hope.

Readers will be drawn into a world both familiar and seen anew. This collection appeals to new readers of poetry who want a breath of fresh air, as well as those who are ready to be captivated and inspired by new takes on old form
