Poeticus Pictoralis II: Nautical & Natural

About Crispin

My name is Crispin and this is the 2nd book in my Poeticus Pictoralis series.I worked for most of my life in the world of retail jewellery starting as a sales assistant and leaving having been general manager of a national chain of 200 shops.My father passed away in 2009 and to support my mother emotionally I increased the frequency of my visiting to once a week. I started writing a poem each week so that we would have a new thing to talk about every visit and my mum was so inspired by the sea-related poetry that she decided to try impressionism and seascapes in oils for the first time. She has produced many now and they are excellent so excellent that I have used them on the inside and outside of these two books. I also have included some of my wife's and two daughter's paintings along with some basic scribbles of my own. This book is full of love variety and uplifting perspective and I am very proud that it all rhymes too!
