I See the Wind: And Other Poems

A collection of 150 poems about a variety of subjects.Included in this collection are Be the Stag, I See the Wind, I Remember a Day I Caught a Leaf, Flames of a chemical Passion, Not Here to Dance and more.Covering such a variety of subjects, questioning as he does and his observational remarks makes many of Rawkins' poems intriguing topics of conversation for poetry lovers, philosophers and everyone who takes time out for art.

Jake Rawkin, ex British soldier, served the Army for seven years, he sustained a back injury resulting in his fi rst book being written during time off duties titled "And so i'll walk". Now, no longer serving he continues to devote his time to poetry and philosophy. He spends his time in the hills and along the coast, he remains a countryman at heart. His inspiration comes from everything he sees and experiences and sometimes from putting himself in other peoples positions. He says "poetry has replaced my previous past times, before my injury, I would devote many hours to physical training and activities I loved, I now put more time and effort into using my mind through poetry and philosophising".
Jake presents to you this, his second book of poems. He will be publishing another book of poems later in 2012. But for now enjoy this book, full of ideas that we all can associate ourselves with and about places we could all fi nd ourselves in.
If you would like to contact Jake, he would welcome your emails and any thoughts on any poems you have read.
