Overview

Reflections - reflecting life, love, nature, people, circumstances. Reflections - showing the poet's response to the world he observes and experiences. Reflections - mirroring the reader's own experiences and giving expression to them. This third collection from Chris M L Burleigh continues his thesis that 'life is serious, but is not to be lived too seriously, ' as in his previous collections (Particles of Light, Troubador, 2017, and Intersecting Lines, Beercott Books, 2021). The more serious poems are liberally interspersed with light-hearted, even playful, poems. Often, though, there is an underlying point to be made. As with Chris's previous collections, there is an entertaining final section of wry thoughts, wit, and wordplay.

'lyrical and beautiful...the poetry is so magical' 'the poems become something more, often resembling moving organisms, while others are more like beautifully crafted sculpture' 'a distinctive and refreshing light-hearted voice' 'An interesting voice...sensitively and nuanced, bitter-sweet, yet vibrantly playful poetry'
