Rural tradition and Rock and Roll culture form the surprising basis for this eclectic collection of poems, offering a unique perspective on life. From 'in the fields' to 'on the road' powerful enigmatic imagery and strong metaphor unravel the tensions between family duty and personal aspirations: a destiny that blows away a landowning inheritance for the sweepstakes of the music industry. Poems embrace the intense and the celebratory, revealing a painstaking honesty and vulnerability, offset by an incisive wit and sense of humour. An original approach to presenting poetry, complete with drawings, which is both challenging and entertaining.
