    About this ebook

    Welsh poet Stan Morton has chosen this selection of poems mainly from those written in the last decade of the 20th century and second millennium but waited until 2015 before publication. A miner's son with a first degree in Modern Foreign Languages and a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics his work shows both the distinct influences of the poetry he has studied in English, Welsh, French and Spanish and an acute awareness of the structure of language. Having moved from the industrial heartlands of North East Wales to the rural beauty of the Vale of Clwyd he treats both landscapes and communities with deep affection. Each poem is treated individually according to its subject, the whole collection presenting a great diversity of style and format. His concerns are those of contemporary individuals caught between a sometimes horrific past and an uncertain future in a world of indescribable natural beauty.

      Three Poems

      Sep 1, 2022

      1. Here there’s no rainy season.Sun scalds my forehead,yet the pool is empty. Beside it,a toppled table, its glass surface shattered.The asphalt is too hot for bare feet. 2. Far away: white hillocksand white dunes under a deepblue sky. Swirling winds

      Dec 15, 2017

      The masters are yet dead. Wanting to be human,I tried to rewrite The Waste Land. The canon’s reachcasts ruinous light. The masters’ pens breachthis page where, above, my own hand spectates. Babylonrisen, exorcism in reverse, whose nature upended now?

      Diaspora Sonnets

      The old men drink their spritzers and gossipunder awnings. Red hued and blustery, like two roosters on the side of a road.Skyward they crane their necks and laugh, sometimes they wonder about kings and future kingsand how the muscles peer from their

      Death

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.
