HOW the PETALS SHIVER Jamie Martin

A poetic response to life in the 21st Century, comprising religion, philosophy and the ubiquitous search for meaning, as well as romantic encounters often only being made accessible by invocation of wit, though eschewing sarcasm, supposedly the lowest form of it.




Certified bookworm from an early age, Halcyon youth followed by dysthymic adolescence incorporating introversion marked by immersion in study of Chess and European languages. Troubled University years, emerging to pursuit of a career in literature. Avowed ailurophile. Creative not only with words but also on the piano, and to a lesser extent, with the visual arts.
