Phillip Mellor's eighth collection of poetry is his most elegant yet. The poet delves into his deepest archived memories, conjuring up a world that despite seeming solid and permanent, is so temporary and finite that most of the poems seem to be told from the point of view of a ghost. The spirits impart their timeless stories and lessons, and encourage all those who wander through their haunted rooms to honor the past and seize the present to avoid their own fate in the future. The poems are immediate, engaging, and their scope acutely focuses in on subjects ranging from lost dreams, lost freedoms and lost love, to the current state of the world today. Phillip Mellor has delivered a collection of poems full of the hopes and fears of the modern world and the call to live your life with an open heart.About The AuthorPhillip Mellor was born in Leeds in the United Kingdom in 1982 and is the author of several collections of poetry including STILL GROWING (2007), BONES AND BROKEN HEARTS (2011), SEASONS OF DISTRACTION (2012), and OTHER SILENT DAYS (2016). His poems have appeared in various literary publications both in the UK and the US. A proud Yorkshireman, he moved from his native country to Seattle, USA in 2018 to live with his wife, American Artist Heather (Carr) Mellor. Although Phillip's poetry touches on various themes, it is the human condition that is at the center of his work. "Primarily when I write I am always asking myself questions related to what it means to be alive, and what connects us. When you stop to think, the human race throughout history has always asked those kinds of questions, in science, in art; it is just a tradition I continue to explore," he says. "It has always been my hope that by sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings, others too might know they are not alone.
