A gathering of poems representing, in the words of the author, a `mining of a satisfying late seam of my personal development'. Artworks form the jumping off point for a number of the poems, and there is a semi biographical thread to others, as the poet looks back to formative experiences in his childhood and youth. These are counterbalanced by reflections on that experience in older age and, as a retired Church of England priest, on what it has meant to try and live with the expectations of a vocation. Throughout, there are trains and railways, music, birds, stained glass and painting, family and walking the high hills. The `profoundly satisfying volume' is warmly introduced by the poet Alan MacGillivray.
