Drop in to Barnstaple Library foyer & meet the poet Christopher Villiers who will be reading from his latest collection of poetry Versing The Mystery.
This collection of poems verses the mystery of God and Creation. Exploring the stories and characters of Scripture, Classical history and myth, the reader confronts the glory of God and is plunged into the depths of the human condition. This work deals with the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the ridiculous. Twenty-first century readers are confronted by their own needs and greeds reflected in the foundations of western civilisation.
There are also more directly personal poems, of love, hate, success and failure, rooted in the life of a rhyming sinner inhabiting an English village near the sea.
And if none of that appeals to you, then at least there are also owls campaigning for political office.
