Millennium's End

<p>Welsh poet Stan Morton has chosen this selection of poems mainly from those written in the last decade of the 20<sup>th</sup> 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.</p>
