Description: From the scenic slopes of New Zealand's Southern Alps to the searing sun of Nevada's southern desert. From Aussie gold to Irish green (and variations in between!) the poetic craft of John Mullin has developed from those earliest, if tentative, voyages of discovery towards that higher level of perception where a subtle degree of mastery (at times) may be blissfully conferred. Fragments is thus a poetic, a philosophical collection. Written in the classical style where sonnets and spenserian stanzas, and other pre-conceived forms and fashions, are united with the underlying thought from which the magical words proceed. It reflects at length on the human condition from the perspective of both participant and silent observer with the greater emphasis on the latter. So shall a line hold a mirror, as it were, up to Nature though its glass may be scattered and broken - be it fractured in Fragments!
