'Oliver's poetry and artwork offer us an enormous insight into his life, his world, and what it means to be Oliver. He's the central part of his wolf pack, and with his wolf call he beckons us to join him.' - Shannon Lott, support worker and friend.
Snapshot

Poetic Moments​
($45.00 plus postage)
​
This book is a collaboration between myself and Barbara Bayly - ​Barbara's stunning photographs with my poems.
​
'Both poetry and photography use imagery. A poem can create an image or capture an idea in a few brief lines. A photograph can tell a story or capture a moment in time or place with a brief click. A photo can indeed be a "poetic moment"' - Barbara Bayly, photographer.
