Overview

The Book Of Whimsies is a collection of gossamer thin poems in which you will find summer days and winter nights, dragonflies and storm borne kites, buttered scones and rusting tin, lost ships and weary hearts, green hills and untied shoes, cups of tea and sleepless nights, and floating above a benign and melancholy moon. The poems are whimsical, light, mysterious as whispers, sometimes sad, sometimes high, but nearly always told with the poignancy of loss, the echoes of love, and with the knowledge that a whim may just as easily lead to dark and unexpected consequences.

C S Hughes is a master of superficially incongruous nuance, which reveals on repeated readings an otherworldly grasp of the enigmas of living. I have from my readings the sense of whimsy that is the mark of fine poetry. - Geoffrey Prince If Rimbaud's drunken boat was a tinny on a bush river, full of raucous, moondrunk louts in love, it might be something like this. - Clare Rolfe C S Hughes weaves his beguiling world, of language in colours, of love poems scented with the absinthe of longing, and all the while somehow creates a new dimension of writing that takes you travelling in folklore as well. His words dance in a resounding radiance, even when terrifying, his leap is one of faith in a talent you can trust, landing the reader in a better place, and wanting more. - James Walton
