The Heart of Things by Richard Holloway

Buy it from Bookshop.org and support local booksellers


Subtitled ‘An Anthology of Memory & Lament’ but this is more than an anthology, Richard Holloway sets the poems he offers us within a commentary that really opens them up.


Memory and Lament might feel like fairly depressing themes, but I found this full of hope – even when we are facing the pain of loss, it is painful because of the joy and the love that have gone before.


I think this will be a book to return to from time to time...
