Chuang Tse's Caterpillar

If this poetry collection has a theme, it is that of impermanence. Coping with change, temporality and uncertainty is one of our great struggles. We are deluded if we feel our lives are built on rock solid foundations. Despite this we strive to create some little temporary paradise for ourselves and, quite surprisingly, for others. "The flame of Beat poetry still flickers brightly in Bolton." - Greg Freeman, writer & reviewer
