Philip M Gale has a lifelong love of travel and has covered much of the globe since leaving Guernsey as soon as he was old enough to sally forth. This book is divided into sections on countries and subjects and contains poems, thoughts and observations made throughout his travels. Philip has written about subjects as diverse as war, conservation and crossing the Nullarbor Plain, together with stunning descriptions of the places he has visited, their population, size and climate, and notes about the atmosphere of each one, all encapsulated in poetry that shows the writer's love and enthusiasm for travel and exploration in his adventurous life. In addition, he writes about the views and feelings we all share as part of the human condition. Sometimes wistful, sometimes whimsical and sometimes hard-hittingly critical, this collection of personal glimpses expressing interest, curiosity, admiration or anger has something for everyone, something from everywhere.
