The Luminous Shadow of the Muse, explores what's left behind when humans confront their
lives...the feelings, hungers, pains, and joys, but beneath it all, the changes
begun by everything a person does, and the activities altered by everything a
human thinks.
This volume is at times
gentle, at times cogent and at times just plain unsentimental as it explores
the big and small facets of modern life. It moves through space and time, from
the 1950s to now, from the gentle breezes of the Cornish coast to the fug of
midtown Manhattan. It assesses marriage, families and the single life. Dogs and
horses. Food and drink. It will make you laugh, remember your past, and assess
the difficult situations of your life. While the poems are based on one woman's
experience on two continents, the emotions are universal. It is a spiritual
journey, from birth to the late years of life. It examines, it suggests, it
informs, it delights in the way it uses the majestically malleable English
language to cast a beam of light on human life in the noughties.
