‘A Colourful Age’ is arranged in four sections: ‘Colour Vision’, which splits the world into the colours of the rainbow, ‘Belief’, which reflects on how we try in our small ways to make sense of existence, ‘Family’, which is topped and tailed by poems written for Peter’s two granddaughters, and ‘Old Age’, which draws on Peter’s experiences. An awareness of colours persists throughout.
“These poems can make you smile, make you cross, make you wonder and catch at your heart. They are rich with rhythm, rhyme, alliteration and musicality. Read them out loud, savour the sounds.” Lesley Ingram, winner of the National Stanza Competition, 2020
