From a sixties childhood immersed in the slate quarries of North Wales, a bilingual schooling, a scientific career, and a core love of all things artistic: poetry, literature, music and art, I share life's challenges, aspirations and joy through a collection of one hundred poems. Enjoy the glint of evening's sun-kissed purple mountains, life painted by each uncurling sycamore leaf, allow each raindrop to sing its celebration.
