Head in the Clouds: Reflections in a Dark Glass

Head in the Clouds: Memories and Reflections is the long-awaited sequel to Boyd Clack’s acclaimed first memoir Kisses Sweeter Than Wine. Made up of 100 Facebook posts, the book blends prose with selected poems to share tales from the stage, from the Welsh valleys and from the founder of The League of Middle Aged Destroyed Men. Boyd examines the merits of snail racing, suggests what to say when meeting an ugly baby, and explores ageing, love, and death. His reflections are based on years of observing the common beauty found in people, animals, and trees all of which form what he calls ‘The River of Souls’.
