This insightful and heartfelt collection of Ben Mitchell's work brings together more than 70 poems and song lyrics reflecting many elements and experiences in life. Some verses draw their inspiration from emotions, memories and relationships, while others offer wry, powerful and poignant observations on society, politics, religion and the world in which we live. By casting his eye over the past and the present, Ben provides readers with a wide variety of subjects, viewpoints and influences. Deeply personal poems and lyrics are interspersed with those that focus on the familiar, which will immediately resonate and strike a chord with many people. Memorable events, moments of discovery and realisation, music and humour are all featured. For good measure, Ben has also included several amusing anecdotes and recollections - ranging from those centred on his childhood and family, to his experiences with the elite on a golf course, and an interesting encounter at Melbourne Airport.
