Meer over het boek

Reflecting on his seventy-sixth year, David Huddle uses poetry to navigate personal and societal changes, particularly those influenced by the current political climate. He skillfully avoids didacticism, opting instead for a blend of intelligence, wit, and form to uncover meaningful insights. This collection encompasses a range of themes, including childhood memories, birdwatching, and the significance of art, all infused with humor and candidness. Huddle's work offers a poignant exploration of aging and the complexities of contemporary life.
