    About this ebook

    In this, Ross Lane's sixth poetry collection and follow up to Fly-tipping and Driftwood, the poet expands on the themes of thought and life by shaping a collection built about life and its journeys.

This collection examines the poet's concept that whilst life is a free open expanse to navigate, there are beacons along the path, destined moments of love, loss and challenge to be encountered in all our shared histories. Ross likens them to mountain-topping pyres that attract us, warn us and show our blazing trails through life's experience.

Beacons is a book about journeys, experiences and the joys of mortality. The poet takes us on an odyssey of sorts, highlighting times, places, people and thought, memory, aspiration and the impact of darkness and light.
