VOYAGING THROUGH TIME

Description
This poetry collection presents a patchy record of an almost hundred-year-long life as it was lived until Covid 19 came into view. Thereis no mention of World War 2, which I lived through mainly as anevacuee and wrote about only in letters, and there is no mention ofCovid in the poems, only one of which was written later than 2018.But, reading through what I have written over the years, I can almostcatch a sense of the pandemic waiting in the wings. The growingexperience of crowding everywhere, the mass production methodsof stock rearing, the human crowding out of wildlife, plant andanimal, and the prospect cheerily propounded by extreme technologyof emigration to another planet when depletion and pollution willhave rendered this one uninhabitable - all this was making for anunhealthy state of things. At the same time, I am not one to underratethe many benefits we enjoy from our advanced technology, as wellfor some of the changes it has brought to our way of living as for theenlargement of our understanding both of the world we live in and ofwhat may be beyond. But the first function of poetry is to entertain,and I hope there are poems here that will do that.
