Woodwose Harry Matthews

Woodwose is Harry Matthew's fourth poetry collection. It is a richly illuminating sequence of poems, taking us on a journey with the archetype of the Woodwose, the wild man of the woods, through to the redemptive spirit and the kingdom of God. The power of the poems lies in their being rooted in the earth, and drawn from the landscape of Shropshire & the borderlands with Staffordshire. These poems ask about reality and the transcendent conditions of earthly life.
