'I am as old as my tongue,and a little older than my teeth.All I have to rely on is my memoryas I am dragged through this life.'Addressing universal themes of love and emptiness in age, youth and time, as well as paying homage to poets both living and dead, in Breath, Brood, Breed we find twenty years of Howard G R Holland's poetic writings collected in one book.Sometimes darkly mysterious, but always facing the world head-on, this collection of poems will appeal to many, especially those interested in the evolution of poetry in the modern world.
