Matters of Life and Death

<p>Mark d'Arbon is a retired academic who has spent the greater part of his adult life teaching in a wide range of settings including a couple of years in Papua New Guinea. He has been writing poetry for many of those forty years having poems published in a variety of anthologies. The first collection of his own poems was published in 2018 titled <em>Veranda People</em>. This second collection is more reflective and has as its core theme aspects of life and the impact of death although there is a sufficiently eclectic spread of poems not to make this book so depressing that you have to put it down in order to have a good cry.</p><p><br></p>
