Circumstance and Serendipity

From the distractible mind of Art Nahill comes this new eclectic collection of poems in his characteristically accessible and conversational style.

In Nahill’s world, almost anything can be an occasion for poetry, from gazing outside at a gathering storm to a trip to the dentist to opening a can of sardines languishing in the back of the pantry.

These poems, while variable in voice and subject, explore familiar themes of love, parenthood, growing old, and even the afterlife with irony and a wry sense of humour certain to delight. They are not written for poets – they are for anyone and everyone wanting to rediscover the humanity and beauty in the unspectacular all around us. They are an exhortation to look, listen and feel.
