Dead Leaves

 

From the horrors of the concentration camps to the beautiful hills of the poet’s home country, this collection explores the meanings and unusual consolations to be found in the daily routines of life and death. Whether preparing a prisoner’s corpse for incineration or contemplating a well cut lawn, the poems are both thought provoking and poignant.

 

There is a deep spiritual sensitivity evident throughout this poetry collection that seeks a human connection with the divine and a meaning to suffering as we transcend the sacred mystery that permeates all life.

This is the second collection from a poet who continues to explore the varying shades of darkness that make up the light.

Compendium Synthetica

 

A Chemical Synthesis Library

A Vade Mecum for the Modern Alchemist.

Between the hallowed corners of the laboratory, where theory dances with the experimental, a new grimoire awakens. Compendium Synthetica, transcending the mundane recipe book, emerging as an archive, a testament to the intricate dialogue between chemists and the molecule.

A library, an anthology of syntheses, a palimpsest, layered with insight as elaborate notes, gleaned from exhaustive laboratory preparation. The theoreticals fading, replaced by the empirical, cold hard facts, no more unknowns, with spectral data to verify each transformation.

A deep dive into the applications and complex mechanisms behind each meticulous dance of electron apportionment, illuminating the mysteries behind the bonding of the atoms.

Compendium Synthetica beckons the intrepid, the one who seeks not merely to replicate, but to innovate. For the modern alchemist, a map to the uncharted, a catalyst for inspiration, a lexicon for those hungry for tested truth, ones who wish not to meddle in falsehood, and misinformation.

Sri Lanka

Hidden Gems And More

Sri Lanka, a magical island not far from the southern tip of India has enchanted travellers and merchants since ancient times. Marco Polo the 13th century Venetian explorer described the country then known as Ceylon as being of the highest quality and most pleasing island in the world. Sri Lanka has had its share of travails over the years. A 26 year civil war which finally ended in 2009 with the defeat of the ‘Tamil Tiger’ rebels, a devastating tsunami on boxing day 2004, two armed insurrections and a governance system since independence from the British Empire in 1948 that has not been able to extract the true potential of the land and its resourceful people. The country lacks economic development, a 21st century infrastructure, adequate foreign currency reserves and a comfortable standard of living for a majority of its citizens. Poverty is widespread and growing. Sri Lanka needs to attract investment, both foreign and local. Tourism is one way forward due to the island’s beauty, wildlife and culture.

My book is intended to pique the curiosity of modern-day travellers who would enjoy the many aspects of this diverse and interesting island nation which has so much to offer. Tourists can enjoy the many attractions and historic wonders of this resplendent isle, delve into its culture and ancient past and savour the nostalgia of Sri Lanka’s tea industry and lifestyle of the planters in an era gone by. The people of this enchanting yet troubled island deserve the prosperity and happiness which has eluded them so far.
