The Sighting Clive Atkins

This collection of poetry has something for everyone. Clive Atkins tackles everyday situations which we all experience and can relate to. He explores relationships, love and lost love, growing up, social injustices, environmental issues and the humorous side of life. Clive's musical influences can be seen in his Writer's Forum prize winning poem The Rap and in the The Record Poem which consists entirely of song titles (see if you can identify the song title and the artist). The diversity of subject matter can be experienced in the humorous poem My First Car and Duckworth Lewis Strikes Again juxtaposed with the haunting composition The Sighting and Living On The Edge exploring the results of the young drug taker. This book takes the reader on an enjoyable and diverse journey through serious and humorous modern poetry.
