Publisher's Synopsis
This collection is a tribute to an era now passed. The end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s saw the reinvention of London and the beginning of highrise building. With this came the demolition of homes and the breakdown of communities. The Dreamers is a tribute to the spirit of one such area on the edge of its destruction. Lost Voices recognises the spirit of those, the poor and powerless, caught up in this change. They meet and pass in Clara's Caff in the course of their working days and reflect on life (Clara's Caff, Seaton Market, near Warren Street, North London). The Dreamers & Lost Voices is the second book in a series of four that also includes: Fragments, Letters and Conjectures & Museum Musings, and Tales and Truths. 'These collections of poetry came about almost spontaneously and kept me engaged and happy at a time when many options were closing on me due to illness. Many are the uses of adversity.' (Elizabeth Barnes)
