More poems from the prolific pen of Burnley author John Cowell taking up where he left off from his second book of poetry "A Compilation of Poems" and expanding on the two themes closest to his heart - Nature and the Burnley of his childhood and youth in the 1940s and 1950s. His affinity with the natural world and the great outdoors provides a refreshing counterpoint to today's demanding hi-tech world which allows little time to stand and stare and appreciate the beauty and wonder that surrounds us. His painfully honest recollections of a past now long gone will evoke poignant memories for those who lived through those times, and inform a younger generation curious to know what it was all about. There are also many other poems, some in Lancashire dialect, touching on all aspects of his rich experience in the Burnley he loves and the wider world beyond. The author's wry humour and enduring empathy with his fellow creatures is implicit throughout.
