Description
Fables and Folklore have always been about more than ‘just made up stories.’ Often, containing either direct or hidden messages, moral questions and beliefs which are then passed on through each new generation.
Demelza Dhotel’s debut poetry chapbook collection draws upon and combines a melting pot of inspiration from Local Folklore, our sense of Heritage, Humanity and Place in the World.
With a particular focus upon protecting our local environment and wider planet. So that future generations can thrive and still enjoy it.
This book takes the reader upon a journey, from Banbury in the South Midlands of England to the North East of England, finding one’s ‘North Star.’ Travelling through some of the North East’s most well known and treasured places such as, Kilburn, Hadrians Wall and Sycamore Gap in Northumberland, Roseberry Topping in North Yorkshire, Middlesbrough, the River Tees in Stockton and the shores of Redcar and Marske. As well as Dundee in Scotland.
These are poems that will resonate with the experience of many readers, going through their own journeys within life. Speaking in verses of narrative, ‘rhythm and rhyme’ in order to make us reflect upon some of the most important issues we face in our modern times.
