Inspired by nature and the spiritual senses, In Badock's Wood and Other Poems draws together the themes of history, time and society to explore how human emotion interacts with the physical world. Taking as their starting point the beauty of an area of woodland in Bristol, the poems move beyond nature to explore universal questions. Eclectic and accessible, Mark Hamilton's poetry is lyrical, wistful and quietly humorous. In Badock's Wood and Other Poems is a collection that will delight and inspire its readers.
