'The time of the singing of men is come,Singing of birds,Singing of men.For the severed branch the time of pruningIs a time of singing...'In his second volume of poetry, Graham McLanachan muses on life, death and eternity.In 'Waitress', the briefest of encounters encapsulates a message about existence. In 'The Twentieth Watch', the music of Messiaen inspires contemplation and in 'The Broom', nature stands up to Death.With gentle lyricism throughout, The Time of Singing is a thought-provoking collection, ideal for moments of contemplation.
