A collection of ecocative poems encapsulating the thoughts and world-view of David Lewis, a deeply contemplative man of the late 19th and early 20th century, who was a native of south Wales. He had an exciting American adventure in his teens and early twenties, though this was not sustained, being followed by a long and happy family life, in Wales and later in England.
The poems conatin a wealth of observation and personal experience of social history, which, sometimes serious and sometimes funny, give the reader a graphic and colourful picture of life in that era.
