The Heart of Things

Throughout his life Richard Holloway has turned to poets and writers for help in looking for answers to life's mysteries, and for solace and guidance in the face of life's challenges. In 'The Heart of Things' he brings together those poems and words which have meant the most to him, whether they have been life-long guides or words which arrived just at the moment when they were needed most. Here then are some lights along life's dark path, with thoughts and reflections on life, death, sadness, regret, sin, conflict and forgiveness.
