An epic poem of flight, the fight for freedom, and the journey back to the self.
A man is a prisoner in a forced labour camp, a powerful metaphor for the ultimate prison: his own mind, curtailed by his deep-seated fears and conditioning.
This epic hybrid verse novel traverses cultures and time, following one gentle and simple man’s journey as he finds his own way back to his core being and finds his peace and the eternal love that cannot die, Miriam.
Miriam My Mamre Oak is a beautifully written and unusually structured poem, a metaphor that describes how an ordinary individual returns to himself, finds his peace, and discovers the eternal love that transcends death and time.
It is a profound meditation on liberation—both physical and spiritual—and the enduring power of the human spirit to find freedom in the face of immense adversity.
“The dark images reflect a world of horrors; man’s inhumanity to man, littered with the beauty of Nature, hope and eternal love. Beautifully evoked, despite the grim story. A masterpiece.” – Marianne Caplin
“The words are visceral, disturbing, provocative, lightly laced or heavily embedded with history and life narrative.” – Tim Spicer
