'Words are Friends' is a splendidly measured collection of poems, where the author never strays from the poetic qualities of rhyme and structure. The book is notable for its excellent variety. Some of the poetry is written in an absorbing story-telling style, such as 'The Awning', which tells the story of two Cubs who are chased when they decided to swing on the grocer's shop awning, whilst 'Salty Spray' describes the author's joy at living in a cabin by the sea, and details with photographic clarity the charismatic environment. The variety continues with 'The Ombudsman' having trouble with his in-tray.
T. R. Stephenson was born in Yorkshire during World War Two. He spent six years at high school, before joining the Civil Service. A keen sportsman, he played amateur football and cricket, and later competed in the veteran athletics hundred metres, in the Public Services Championships at National and Northern level. This publication is the author's first book. In addition to his work as a sports journalist for the 'Rugby Leaguer', he has also had several poems published in anthologies.
