Review

“Trevor B Maynard combines complicated thematic material and unites fractured images with a sure hand.” (THE STAGE)

The Poetic Bond IX

"The Poetic Bond IX is a high quality book from cover to cover. Readers will enjoy each authors varied and unique style of poetry, showcased in a modern way "

"Interesting themes are woven throughout. The imagery is emotional, and fresh."

Nine Frames

"Nine stories seeing the world through unique eyes - from a robot replacing a maitre d' to a proposal on a first date - from anti-romantic love to love on banger racing track - from love in the stars to a world where life is either euthanasia and slavery - and from loved carved from a next door neighbour to life anew after illness - a cat and the grandfather that inspired him - these tales will entertain, bring joy and tears, and provide the reader with new experiences to cherish."

Grey Sun, Dark Moon

"This collection of poetry hovers around the shadows of melancholy, occasionally rising to joy, often falling to darkness. It is an intimate study of the frailties of life, the human condition. Symbolically, the passage of time is explored, from Sunrise to Morning, then Later, Dusk to Night. A day’s passing, echoing the movement of life through time, questioning; what unites us, in meaning and experience, as our days pass, life ruthlessly ticking away; how does this modern existence relate to the natural world around us?"
