Description
This anthology of original poems by author and former-Littleport man John M Taylor, focuses on the people and places of ‘The Fens’ in the aftermath of World War Two – engaging the reader’s imagination in the events, struggles and mood of this unique period in the social history of Eastern England.
Neither unduly sentimental, nor soaked in self-pity, stand-out works such as Little Things, Littleport and Mrs Fitch, God Bless Her Heart balance the devastation of loss, that is the inevitable legacy of war, and the extraordinary kinship and humour that can encourage healing and an eye to happier times in the future.
