If you have ever visited, or worked, in London and looked at the people as well as the buildings, this book of free-form poems will stir your emotions.
From the prostitutes to the celebrities; from the drudge of work to the freedom of the parks, Londinium Poeta touches the soul of the great City.
London has been a popular venue for a long time; very much entailing all aspects of life today, for residents/visitors/students – from the big modern engine that is a city. And the city eventually brings out an inner landscape within people; which is the first-person persona, through greater circumstance – this is the essential ‘lyric form’. The poems are not free of rhythm or form, only free of rime and meter, because these do not work well with the subject at hand. London requires stronger, tougher structures.
