Books by Keith Bray

My second collection of poems develops further the themes of identity and correlations to the past, present and the future. Hopefully the poems should speak for themselves without need of explanation or justification for their existence and open to individual interpretation. The title "The mirrors of Thespis" gives a clue to the underlying themes running like a thin thread throughout the poems. Similar to a theme and variation form in music, the opening idea is reshaped, altered and changed by a process of variable repetition; a distorting mirror where the original reflected image has been mutated into other aspects of itself.
