Evidence of FreewheelingTrevor Conways debut poetry collection touches a vast spectrum of tones and themes, blended with rhyme or free verse. He weaves startling imagery into his work, whether describing nature or capturing elements of modern life. Human nature is analysed, satirised and sometimes glorified. The world of sport is treated with minute detail. The creative impulse is explored in depth, as are the poets physical surroundings, particularly Sligo and Galway.
