Synopsis

Tim writes, "These poems are not carefully selected, with the less effective weeded out to make way for late arrivals. They were written as a Lent project in 2016, one a day, with the aim of catching the moment and looking back and forward" Tim Lenton writes of one Lent in a lifetime of Lents. He writes from a place familiar to us all, “out in the wilderness between yesterday and tomorrow”; the terrain is one of questions (and few answers) within a landscape of longing, love and loss. There is no artifice in these poems; there is no desire to proselytise or preach. There is humour, grace, humility. And the footnotes to the poems are unapologetically human, self-deprecating. I warm to each poem, each page, each day, and it to me, like a hazelnut in the palm of my hand. Claire Everett, Founder and Editor of Skylark
