Solace – by Don Helmore
 

 

Don is an artist with words. His palette is mainly people and they inspire his verses. Starting with his World War 2 ventures in the Pacific, Don has been an out-reacher all his life. As Browning would have it: Ah. but a mans reach should exceed his grasp, or iv hat:,, a heaven for? Don's poems are in line with that intriguing vision. They lift the fog of coronavirus lockdowns and lead us to sunlit vistas.

Within the covers of this intriguing book you will find poems exploring the many ways Don has found solace in his later life. His shrewd observations of the world, or that which he now encounters daily, are evidenced in poems which will intrigue, question and challenge. His need also to record the nuances of illness, the textures of life, love, and beauty give breadth to the wisdom of his writing.
