‘A JAR OF STICKLEBACKS’ – ARMADILLO CENTRAL
This collection of twenty poems and an Afterword by David Selzer and five photographs by Sylvia Selzer was published by Armadillo Central as an ebook in 2011 and a POD in 2014.
‘A JAR OF STICKLEBACKS explores themes as diverse as love, death, racism, war, nature, popular culture and the passing of time. Each is imbued with a gentle sensitivity and a generosity, to both his subject matter and his reader, which harks back to the old-school poets. While David refers to some of these masters in his Afterword: Auden, Yeats, Larkin, Hughes and Plath, to name just a handful; his voice is entirely original, anchored in his own rich life experience.’
