Songs for Calpurnia

If you think you don't like poetry, think again! In this collection are Andrew John Hamling's thought's and feelings about significant events in his life, expressed in a form that is easily accessible and understood. Here there is love, joy and sorrow, as well as his reflections on an ever- changing world, all inspired by the people and landscapes of the places in which he has lived: Britain, South America and Africa. However, within the simplicity of style lies a profound beauty, inflected with an underlying humour. These poems are unlikely to constitute the basis of an academic thesis, but they will give the reader much enjoyment.
