Purchase 'Words'

From £7.35

WORDS is the culmination of over 50 years of Arnold's writings and life experiences.

The poetry is addressed to all faiths and none, to all gender orientations and to Humanitarians. Of course not all poetry appeals to everyone but as stated in the Doctor’s Magazine  ‘The Lancet’ it says that the right sort of poetry can be very therapeutic.  It is for the reader to judge if this is the ‘right sort of poetry’.  The Author invites the recipients of his work to select the material to which they can personally relate, and perhaps re-read from time to time, so that like a song, the impact of new concepts will be revealed and will bring growing joy and understanding, even revelation to the reader. 

Section one is pure poetry for everyone's taste. Section two is combination of poetry & prose for mindfulness and the third part is a selection of Arnold's favourite 'Shaggy Dog Stories'.
