Touchstones

by Gordon Walmsley

A touchstone is a stone used to gain insight into the qualities of a sample of gold. Gordon Walmsley develops this theme of insight, into a many-faceted adumbration of poems. He raises the how can we fathom the cold mechanism of an increasingly authoritarian world and be free to think and act as we wish, according to our inner touchstone? "His poems focus on the harsh reality of the world and the nature of freedom and expression, with fine and flowing verse that entertains as well as makes the reader think." The Midwest Book Review
