Description
War poet Robin Horsfall became a soldier in 1972. He served from the age of 15 up to the age of 32 with the Parachute Regiment, the SAS, the Sultans of Oman’s Armed Forces, the Army of Sri Lanka and was a Major in "Frelimo" the Army of Mozambique. He studied Karate for most of his adult life achieving the rank of 6th Dan Black Belt until 2011 when a neck fracture changed his life. During his recovery he went to Surrey University (something that would have astonished his parents and school teachers) and studied English literature with creative writing. He graduated in 2016. He found a joy in the forms and rhythms of poetry. In 2018 he was diagnosed with bladder cancer but recovered after surgery. The collection is in many ways a soldier's story in poetry. A warrior poet, he has kindly been compared to other, more famous war poets.
