‘The Light Will Always Return’, Frank McMahon’s third book of poems, will be published in April. Frank, who lives in Cirencester and is a member of Somewhere Else Writers, has won praise for his first two collections, ‘At the Storm’s Edge’ and ‘A Different Land’, and his third collection is eagerly anticipated.
He said, ‘Things that stopped me in my tracks inspired some of the poems in my book, alongside work that celebrates the work of other artists and craftswomen and men. Other poems draw inspiration from the natural world, starting with winter light. There are shadows in the book: loss, environmental concerns, and conflict, but the abiding theme is hope and optimism. These essential qualities of living are there around us but also need to be generated by our resilience and our willingness to work towards protection and restoration.’
‘The Light Will Always Return’ is published by Tim Saunders Publications and will be available in paperback, and hardback from Waterstones, Amazon and other bookshops, and as an e-book.
It is being launched on April 17th.
Frank will be reading some of his new work at Writers in the Library, Cirencester on June 13th at 2pm and at Cheltenham Poetry Cafe on April 26th..
