    About this ebook

    A collection of poems lyricising the reflections of love, loneliness and life. Jagtar Malhi was born in India, and has lived all his adult life in England. He served in the police service until his retirement; a job that he loved and at times loathed, but which allowed him to engage with a great diversity of human experience and explore a deeper understanding of life. He has always been a poet, writing and reciting poetry in his school and college days, and occasionally while doing his job. His love for trekking has taken him to the Himalayas, Andes, Africa and the mountains of Britain, and his poems reflect a composite personality of a British person of Indian heritage.
