The poems in Sound Never Dies & Other Poems all invoke sound in one way or another, from the impossible to reproduce rill of an Australian magpie's morning song in One For Sorrow, to the ancient hammer blows Marconi never hoped he one day might hear of the title poem, from the strained, pleading vernacular of a miracle's unlikely testimonials in Petals, to a statue's almost imperceptible exhalations in Vainglory Morning. Here you will find the...

In his sometimes arch and overwrought language, poet C S Hughes presents a collection of his reveries, myths, wanderings and fables, in which, a young woman listens to the advice of cats, but ignores the remonstrance of birds, the young people of the Dog Clan, guided by their ancient Mother, defy and surrender to the burgeoning winter, at a funeral, by a carnival, two old soldiers defy their fears, and their strings, on a lost Antarctic shore ...

A new collection of poems from C S Hughes, that tell tales barbarous and strange. Of water witches and dead roads, kings of owls and beggarly crows, dubious merchants, three time losers, lost sailors and lost souls, the drunk the brazen and the brave, and much else besides.

C S Hughes combines the naive with the wonderful to create a book of poems full of charm, wit, laughter and magic. With the cadence of nursery rhyme, the conviction of prayer, the strangeness of myth and spell, it weaves a peculiar but charming magic. Peopled throughout with a sometimes amusing, sometimes obsessional, sometimes curious array of birds, cats, bears and stranger creatures.

The Book Of Whimsies is a collection of gossamer thin poems in which you will find summer days and winter nights, dragonflies and storm borne kites, buttered scones and rusting tin, lost ships and weary hearts, green hills and untied shoes, cups of tea and sleepless nights, and floating above a benign and melancholy moon. The poems are whimsical, light, mysterious as whispers, sometimes sad, sometimes high, but nearly always told with the poig...
