London Poems

London Poems is a collection of moving verse that explores the great capital from perspectives past and present, bleak and hopeful. From the 'lazy hesitancy' of a lost love's smile to streets 'rimed with curry and kebab', Grant captures the charms and disappointments of life against the striking backdrop of a vibrant, pulsating and ever-evolving city.

Last Pint in England

‘These poems will give endless pleasure to lovers of conventional poetry. Murray’s insistence upon rhyme adds a remorseless strength to his evocative pictures of lovers and old friends, his nostalgic visits to childhood and his bleak vision of life as a preparation for death. His minimalist drawings subtly evoke the spirit of these unusual and moving poems.’

“From roadside flowers to the World Trade Centre, from friendships lost to one-night stands, Murray in this remarkable collection of poems bares his emotional soul as few have done in public, even on television. He takes us on an extraordinary journey across the peaks and chasms of love, remorse, nostalgia, and preparation for death. I’m not usually one for poetry but frankly I was enthralled.”
- Michael Weigall, writer and prize-winning broadcaster

Last Warming of the Heart

This remarkable collection of poetry goes to the heart of the human condition. Compassionate, sad, nostalgic, but never sentimental, Murray in his second published work ranges through all of our most familiar emotions and experiences, expressing feeling in simple but often heart-rending terms.
This is unusually powerful, honest and memorable writing.

Untouched Hands

Untouched Hands provides a window into contemporary society through which few will ever have glimpsed. Exploring the principles that govern behaviour and the mental attitudes that dictate decisions, the 'capitalist mentality' of modernity is exposed as the superficial value system that it is. Lau regards the halcyon days of the past as one would a past love - with bittersweet memories and sorrow tinged with regret.

A powerful and insightful collection, Untouched Hands dissects the meat of modern society, leaving you to pick over the bones.

Petals of Joy

Behind the shadows of doubt, And ineffectiveness, There is a garden of hope, Bearing petals of joy. Each flower bears God's handprints, Each sunray gives His light, And warmth to every cold heart, And peace to troubled minds. There is a lovely fragrance, When trusting souls are pressed, They exude love and patience, Their hearts are truly blessed. The gifts of God are planted, Take faith and reach for more. In God's beautiful garden, There are lovely petals of joy.

Joyce Warden's first collection of poems is threaded throughout with her Christian faith. Not one is without some reference to God, the life of faith or the help that is available if we call.

The poems cover a range of topics and are easy for people to relate to. This is because they deal mainly with the human situations with which we feel a strong kinship. Most of the poetry is simple and easy to read, but leave a message which Joyce wants us to hear. Revd. Clifford Taylor, B.D.
