Sobre IBD

Between Heaven andHell is a nightmareWorld, where goodAnd evil fight forSupremacy, and shareThe spoils of war.In this follow-up to his book of apocalyptic poetry, Revelations, David Mobberley continues his poetic quest, this time marrying our creation myths with the world as we see it today. Touching upon recent wars and other tragedies, these poems also rest upon the good things of the world - the bluebell woods and the savage beauty of the sea - and question the troubled relationship between man and his creator.
