About this audiobook
The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections.
“Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014)
"Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.
