Jackdaws Around a Distant Tower by Raymond Foster (Paperback, 2010)

Poems of nature: a celebration of beauty, awe, wonderment and sometimes sadness - all the varied feelings induced by a lifetime's love of the natural world - as seen through the eyes of Raymond Foster and expressed in eloquent terms. But as he explains, it is t for us to feel passionate about these things; love of nature should be a passion-free love, based on observation and appreciation. The book's title, and the title of the first poem, Jackdaws around a Distant Tower, suggests how the joyful sound jack...jack of these birds circling a tower, the man-made cliff face that they have chosen as their communal home, gladdens the heart and seems to sum up the way in which nature's creatures have adapted to human civilisation.
