In Through Alabaster

In This Collection Of Poetry, 'in, Through Alabaster', Simon Stacey Offers An Eclectic Range Of Subject Matter, From The Mundane, (the Loss Of An Unfinished Poem On A Faulty Memory Stick), To The Monumental, (a Contemplation Of How The Lincoln Memorial Embodies That Presidents Myth And Reality). He Vividly Records The Experience And Nostalgia Of Childhood, Particularly The Leaving Of It, The Buying Of A Ring For His Sons Wedding And His Preference For His Wifes First, And Unused, Name. The Architecture Of Warsaw And An Italian Renaissance Painting, Both Meticulously Described, Sit Alongside A Frayed Shirt Collar His Aged Mother Can No Longer See, And A West Midlands Canal-side Walk, Beautifully And Lyrically Rendered.
