After the Applause

'Blurb'

Contained within, Poetic words, some grim, of my recent experiences, during these times mysterious, of love and loyalty, and life’s’ great frailties, words of understanding, and observations on society, I share all this with you, humor, tears, happiness, fears, nakedly I bear my soul, for you to read, because we all need to forgive ourselves in times like these.

Once upon a time Andrew Ridgway, who was born in 1973 wanted to be a writer. But life had other ideas, and so for over 21 years he has worked as a theatre nurse.

In his first published book, which collects together his humanistic themed poetry Andrew is processing difficult events in his life. These include recent experiences being re-deployed to his hospital’s intensive care unit during the Covid 19 pandemic.

He is currently working on a second book of poetry based on love and relationships.
