Silt From Distant lands

This is Terence Park's first collection of poetry. It is split into two sections. The first: Silt From Distant Lands ranges through time and space (Golden Age Islam WW1 the Oort Cloud) dips into current affairs (Scottish Referendum EU Referendum) with several stopovers at poetry within fiction. Making up the latter are: The Eggman Impressions Aeschia and As If You Were Near. The complete text of two short stories have been included; Impressions gives voice to a paraplegic and in Aeschia an insubstantial alien makes her observations as she drifts around Paris. The second section: Close As Kin includes 11 additional poems. The reader is invited to consider it as either a long afterword or teaser to his next collection. Terence confesses to shying from obligatory cuss words.
