About this title

Synopsis

Pause and Rewind is the inaugural collection in a series of photo-poems on the theme of 'Places', blending together the author's own poems and images. A light-hearted tour in verse looking at life in the early 2020s. In Pause and Rewind we can take a few moments to reflect on some of the values and customs which make the world a better place but seem sometimes to be in short supply, not least tolerance, patience, compassion and a sense of humour. A variety of locations around the UK are visited, including Liverpool, London, Yorkshire and Dorset, along with destinations further afield: the Caribbean, Switzerland, France, New York and many more.
