Out Of The Walled Garden

Beschreibung

Out of the Walled Garden: A Journey Through Memory and Verse is a powerful and deeply personal collection of poetry, spanning a decade of published works from 2001 to 2011. This new edition, far more comprehensive than the earlier version, brings together all of Clive Gilson's previously published poems, many of which have appeared in esteemed magazines and anthologies. After the devastating loss of his wife, Karen, in 2010, Gilson stepped away from poetry, losing the drive to continue. But now, in revisiting these works, he's found a new sense of purpose-along with a renewed passion for the craft. In this collection, Gilson not only shares his poems but also includes reflective notes on the inspiration and emotions behind each piece, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the mind of the poet. This journey through his work is a meditation on memory, grief, and healing. Gilson's words paint a vivid picture of the human experience-how we drift from the people we once were, how life's trail can become tangled in the weeds of forgetfulness, and how poetry can help us clear those paths. With each poem, readers are invited to retrace those steps and reconnect with the moments that shape us. At its core, Out of the Walled Garden is a celebration of resilience and the bittersweet nature of memory. It's a reminder that while some thoughts and memories may sting, the act of revisiting them can dull the pain and even bring a sense of joy. Gilson's journey through loss and nostalgia becomes a gift for readers-an exploration of life, love, and the quiet power of poetry to heal. This is more than a collection of poems; it's a deeply human story told through verse-raw, poignant, and surprisingly fun. For anyone who has ever reflected on the past, grieved a loss, or simply wanted to understand the poet's heart, this collection offers a unique and moving experience.

Autor

Born in 1962 into a household that lived and breathed sports, the author's dad was a seasoned senior amateur and lower league professional footballer. Not just that, he managed his own businesses in cahoots with Clive's mum, who was no slouch either - she was a skilled and award-winning ballroom dancer.After snagging a degree in History from Leeds University, our storyteller took a rather serendipitous stroll into the burgeoning world of information technology in the late '80s. Like father, like son, they say. Alongside a flourishing tech career, Clive dabbled in various writing and acting pursuits, from freelancing as a journalist and book reviewer (with a coveted by-line in The Sunday People) to gracing stages in village halls and the odd professional theatre across the south of the UK for a good decade.In a nod to the family's sporting legacy, Clive - long after hanging up his own hockey boots - delved into the world of live TV broadcasts. Armed with a wealth of rugby knowledge, he became one of the go-to 'statos' for the BBC, ITV, TVNZ, and EuroSport, covering everything from Heineken Cups to Six Nations, World Sevens, and World Cups in the late '90s.For a deeper dive into this fascinating journey, head over to clivegilson.com, where there's a whole trove of tales waiting to be uncovered!
