I Turned a Corner Once
About this book
I Turned a Corner Once is a collection of poems that explore the experiences and relationships of the author over the course of fifty years. From their youth in a small coastal town in Cornwall in the 1950s, to hippy collectives and their career as an airline pilot, the poems in this book cover a wide range of themes including romance, humor, and the unknown consequences of our actions. Through it all, the author learns to embrace change and instinctively "turn the corner" towards new experiences. This book is a deeply personal and introspective look at the journey of self-discovery.
