Ramblings of a Free Man - Volume II | Austin Macauley Publishers

And so, we continue…

Is it into the sunset or the sunrise?

Travelling into my final years on this wonderful planet of ours, that question can arise more than twice a day.

Observing England, Wales, Scotland and again Mallorca during my newfound freedom reveals the mores, habits, contradictions and petty annoyances of the 2020s.

This essentially human interaction, combined with a deep love of people, places and the written word, drives a poetic response that continues to tumble out.

Each day can trigger an enlivening of deep-seated memories, many re-emerging that had been locked away during our busy working lives.

Appealing to all ages, anyone who has marvelled at the depth, complexity, commonality and diversity of our fellow humans can continue to accompany me on my journey.

Feel free to join me now or at any time.

These poems are a testament to that journey.

Born in the 1950s to a submariner and a ‘cockney’ rebel, he engaged early with sport and books. A deep thirst for knowledge was well served by King Edward IV Grammar and the University of London. Playing a respectable level of football, golf and with a thirty-five-year squash habit, it became apparent that he’d need to work for a living. After a season at Butlin’s, cost accounting, grass-cutting for the RAF, and an accidental gap year, he stumbled into brewing. Thirty-five years later, after running sales teams across the UK, he set up his own business. An ensuing sense of freedom drew him back to creative writing.
