About this ebook
Anley’s poetry is remarkable for its delicacy and beautifully crafted verse. His love of poetry springs from a purer source than most poets can draw on. It has little to do with “self-expression” or displaying his techniques or pressing his ideas on his readers. His poetry works through intuition and feeling and what Plato called “the further side of being.” His poems reveal a sense of the inexhaustible richness of nature and the immense value of just looking steadily at things without prejudice or preconception, patiently waiting for them to yield up their secrets.

About the author
Vernon Anley was educated in Australia and England. After leaving university he worked for the Ministry of Overseas Development in the West Indies before resuming an academic career in Europe and the Far East. He has co-authored and edited a number of books and written guides on the Hejaz and Yemen. His novel, A Carnival of Lies, about the complex developments in Germany between 1939 and 1945, won the 2012 All Editors Award for the best work of historical fiction. Among his more recent publications, An Unholy Love takes the reader on a spiritual odyssey that transcends religious speculation in its apprehension of the imperishable power of love.
