Village Fox

Richard Cave's long-awaited first collection spans the whimsical environmental-awareness to, dare we say it, poems of "Dylanesque" power and beauty. From the stark horror of Aberfan; the marking of past lives and loves; and the joy of re-learning your child after they have found themselves, all with that touch of a Welsh cadence. Richard's poems are tales told gently, pragmatically, but with great love for his fellow humans."The poems in this wonderful collection are charming, resonant and striking in observational detail. They are much in the mould of Dylan Thomas' short stories (and more accessible than some of his poetry.). Within, you'll find whimsical humour and much of the joy of what it is to be alive.Laurence G. Tilley - Writer, sculptor, photographer
