What Turns Up

<p>Inspiration is an elusive beast. When you go looking for it it hides. Turn your back and it can jump out at you. The first poem in this collection was inspired by an image snapped or staged of three ordinary folk. It captures a fleeting moment in lives with complicated back stories. Further poems followed from images real or in the poet's mind. In poems of a few lines Michael Glover captures those stories conjures up the images afresh and leaves you with more questions than answers. If we truly observe rather than let life pass us by we will see stories all around us - snippets of lives well and not so well lived.</p>
