A-Naughty-Biography and other poems

A lively collection of poems that blends autobiographical verse, humorous anecdote, and reflective lyrics. A comic autobiographical sequence traces life from infancy through schooldays and courtship, using plain, conversational language and wry observation. Other short pieces engage seasonal scenes, rural domestic life, love and bereavement, and topical civic or charitable concerns. The volume alternates narrative vignettes and compact lyrical meditations, shifting between playful satire, sentimental mourning, and occasional moral appeal, and foregrounds everyday details and social feeling rather than ornate poetic experiment.
