Soundings Bill Pakenham

Soundings is a striking collection of poetry which captures the emotional self-exploration of life's journey; the ephemerality of humans and the transcendence of nature above our self-obsessed arrogance and destruction. The philosophising character of these poems, and the boundaries stretched to look beyond appearance and first emotion, strike a chord in anyone who has found themselves pondering the vagaries and paradigms of life But struggles are accompanied by joys, and the beauty sits alongside tortures, to givea rich, varied and fulfilling collection.
