The Sands Of Time - 9798231861088

Sands of Time combines the poems of the 2013 full collection of the same name with the shorter pamphlets Missing Parts (2015) and Twenty Poems (2021), as well as a selection of new poems by Exeter poet and novelist Andy Botterill and are the most recent ones he's written. The poems are in a confessional style and in the vein of the American Beat tradition. They explore themes of reflection, relationships, bereavement and the loss of a father, parenthood, music, literature and popular culture, the passing of time and growing older, contemporary events and social realism. Many appeared in their original format in the small press magazines and online poetry blogs of both the UK and America at the time of writing. All the poems have been updated with revisions and additions for this new collection, which continues the gradual reissue of all Andy Botterill's published poetry, of which this is volume seven. He considers his work to be from the perspective of the outsider, loner or casual observer.
