Reseña del libro "Grey Sun, Dark Moon (en Inglés)"
This collection of poetry hovers around the shadows of melancholy, occasionally rising to joy, often falling to darkness. It is an intimate study of the frailties of life, the human condition. Symbolically, the passage of time is explored, from Sunrise to Morning, then Later, Dusk to Night. A day's passing, echoing the movement of life through time, questioning; what unites us, in meaning and experience, as our days pass, life ruthlessly ticking away; how does this modern existence relate to the natural world around us? "Trevor B Maynard combines complicated thematic material and unites fractured images with a sure hand." (THE STAGE) The book consists of sixty-five poems divided into five chapters, written on or before 2015, with an appendix of author's notes on ten of the poems, an index of first lines, details of the author's previous works, KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON (2012) and LOVE, DEATH AND THE WAR ON TERROR (2009). SUNRISE, new life, the growing of awareness, the innocence of love MORNING, change, the first half of life, time passes LATER, the afternoon of existence, the coming of old age, the nature of being DUSK, man in society, the violence of politics, the place of Man in Nature NIGHT, the human condition, tragic narratives, the reality of love.
