An Essex Lad

By Mark Powell

In a poignant and captivating collection of sixty-three poems, Mark Powell pays homage to A. E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad, transposing it to his native Essex. Exploring similar themes that define Housman's seminal work - such as memory, myth, longing and mortality -- Powell presents his own insight into unrequited love, the dreamlike nature of youth, the implacability of nostalgia and the agony of loss.
