A writer all his life, upon retirement, Dermot Millar began spending more and more time writing and exploring his connection to poetry. His first volume of poems, "Unnatural Symmetry" is a result of that exploration: Sensitive poet soul pushed by fear of poverty shame / To live the compressed life of middle management bureaucrat / Who knows what comes out the other end of a life / Of such unnatural symmetry / How many are lost / In service to this existential choice. The poems in this collection are concise and take the listener to those self-same places of awareness. You will enjoy this journey.
