The Wind and the Rain. Poetry Reading by Anthony Wilson

About

Anthony will be reading from and talking about his sixth collection of poetry, The Wind and the Rain (Blue Diode Publishing). The book is about loss. Written during the first phase of the Covid pandemic, it narrates the story of losing a loved one to dementia. The Wind and The Rain investigates how we live within family and community, and questions the roles we construct both together and alone. Combining personal and environmental grief through the metaphor of rain, Anthony's poems explore the borderline territory between memory and forgetting, illness and health.
