Produktbeschreibung
In Confidence is Jim Tilley's first book of poems, ranging from lyric to narrative in form. About half of the 60 poems are open-form sonnets, most of which fit a broad theme of personal and societal "dislocation." The collection covers a variety of subjects, from relationships to issues of politics, the economy, and the environment.

The subtly crafted verses of In Confidence resonate with universal human qualities.
