Portraits in Time: Collected Poems 1952-2011

By Nicholas Pawley

These poems and portraits cover a period from about 1952 to 2011. Once I had collected the early poems I was inspired to write more and managed to fill in some of the gaps in this autobiography to create a poetic journal. My early life was determined by my fathers assignments as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve and our move from England to the Bahamas in 1947. But the story really begins in the Jewish community of Vitebsk, Russia where my mother was born, and with the events that brought her and her family to London. Despite going to school in Canada, and eventually moving to the U.S., I still remember a village in the Bahamas as home.Other PoemsThe second short collection, ???The tree is a tiger are more recent poems written since we moved to Arizona in 1989 and have environmental themes.
