Synopsis
Passages of memory, conflict, and fate unfold in dramatic verse across past and present.
This edition presents W. G. Hole’s Poems Lyrical and Dramatic as a bold mix of lyric musings and streetwise drama. From haunting meditations on memory and duty to vivid, stage‑like scenes set in places such as London, Roosevelt Street, and Perugia, the book blends intimate reflection with historical grandeur. The verses invite readers into voices that wrestle with guilt, power, love, and consequence without shying from hard truths.

Product Description
Excerpt from Poems Lyrical and Dramatic
Had whispered of the Severn Sea; And in the moon-blanched minarets Had shown, by wistful alchemy, The tower four-square upon the hill, Beat grey by all the winds of heaven, hose five sweet bells on Sabbath moms Make music when the village-folk Come up in hushed societies, Through lanes of ancient silences And primrose-lit obscurities, To worship God in Somerset.
