Outbranching Scharlie Meeuws

"Words are my arthropod feelers with which I carefully sense my way in an outbranching world... When a poem is a true expression of feeling, it can be liberating. The pace and timing of words reveal a full and surprising range of meaning, which I believe is best expressed through the use of simple language. While I like to depict the scale of events, scenery and emotions, I prefer to do so almost invisibly. Poems are small on the page, but can swell to fill the mind. In this collection, poems drift in and out of inner space, explore loss and death, love and feelings, forever interwoven with a thicket of branches, enlivened by an occasional cluster of colourful blooms."
