Christopher M James, a dual British/French citizen and global traveller, finds poetry the vehicle 'par excellence' for finding out - often through re-editing - what he truly thinks/feels that is worth saying. He finds writing poetry the purest form of living in the moment. In his first collection are found poems that span space and time, evoking many different places: Britain, Ireland, France, Thailand and Japan and many different moments in life, from childhood to maturity, Readers will find striking metaphors that explore the complex weave of existence in poetry that is at once dynamic, vivid and contemplative.
