Thoughts and Obsessions — Stephen White (2)

S. J. White's Thoughts and Obsessions is a masterful tour de force of poetic writing that covers both the personal and the universal truths of the human condition. In Bored, White concisely touches on the mundanity of our daily existence in a way rarely seen with other contemporary poets, whilst still retaining an element of light humour. And in Thank You My Friend, White's neoteric exploration of the importance of our closest friendships is most deftly, and beautifully conveyed. Other poems in the collection range in scope from hope, faith, love, personal identity, through to our closest relationships and romance.
