Journey Barry Middleton

This is my eleventh book of poetry and only providence will dictate if there are more to come. I am sure I will keep writing as long as I am able. I always strive to make my poetry readable and easy to understand. I think it tragic that poetry has become so intellectual and academic that hardly anyone reads it anymore. My poetry focuses on human experiences such as childhood, home, family and love. But I also touch on the darker side of life - loss, war, terrorism, cruelty, pain and death. Perhaps the most profound thing that poetry can ponder is what comes next. What lies beyond death for our soul, our planet and Universe. Is there an eternity that is waiting out there somewhere? Universe and poetry may have the answer.
