Dilettante Ink

In his sometimes arch and overwrought language, poet C S Hughes presents a collection of his reveries, myths, wanderings and fables, in which; a young woman listens to the advice of cats, but ignores the remonstrance of birds; the young people of the Dog Clan, guided by their ancient Mother, defy and surrender to the burgeoning winter; at a funeral, by a carnival, two old soldiers defy their fears, and their strings; on a lost Antarctic shore the Gods approve as an expedition halts for a final game of cricket; by an intemperate sea a fisher-wife cares for a very strange foundling; in a city of sparkling glass washing windows is the loneliest job of all; this and much more you will find, if you surrender reason to The Book Of Fables.
