Book Description
The second book of poetry from James Herbert West.
A dark and unfamiliar world awaits in this modern myth, told in narrative verse. Inspired by ancient myths, European folklore, and 19th-century Romanticism, Nocturne seeks to rekindle the ashes of our forebears’ thinking and pass their light on to future generations. The nightingale resumes his elegy:
a coronach for once-idyllic glen,
a lone lament for long-forgotten sun,
and yet a hopeful note endures for one
who lies in dark but shall emerge again.
