An East Anglian Odyssey in Poetry

Les Hopton takes the reader back to the mid twentieth century in An East Anglian Odyssey in Poetry. In Victory in Europe, he reminisces; "They celebrated all night long, with food, drink, dance, and song, the people had earned the right, to celebrate on V.E. Night."The poems are often interspersed with beautiful imagery, evoking a sense of nostalgia.In The Bluebells, Hopton describes how, "Their blooms, azure, a sheer delight, seek out between the branches, shafts of light. There they inspire us with the hue, those special carpets of dazzling blue."A diverse collection to dip into and enjoy.
