Robert grew up in the south of England before seeking his fortune in foreign lands. His home now is on beautiful Ibiza with his beloved Clouds Woman. He makes himself useful and earns a crust by providing health care to the local community. He loves to spend time walking the woods, cliffs and coastlines of his island home, and torturing some apology for music out of his mandolin. He loves solitude, bodies of water, forests, observing the beauty and the harshness of nature, and (quixotically) pondering the imponderable mysteries of life. His poetry is inspired by the beauty and mystery of the world around us, the natural environment, the human condition, and the greatest motivator of them all, love. Robert has been published in several respected poetry magazines. This is his third collection of poems. His previous collections, No Better Time Than This and The Storyteller of Isfahan are also published by Yabisa Gashouse. Robert's other works include a guide to managing stress, a technical book on acupuncture, and an online guide to the medicinal herbs of Ibiza (under perpetual development).
