Echoes from the Cave
I was very happy
to receive recently, on New Year’s Day 2025, the new Poetic collection of Richard
Devereux, a very remarkable person, an incredible friend and an
inspirational human being.
The title of
this new collection of his is: Echoes from the Cave. Subtitle: A
fifty - year love affair with Greece.
It was firstly
published on 2025 by Stephen Morris, with ISBN: 978-1-0683039-0-6. Pages: 96. The
book is dedicated by Richard to his grandchildren.
The collection
is divided into three parts, namely: Young Love, Islands and Strands.
The book also contains a Glossary and Acknowledgements, as well as a few words
about the Poet and two short texts (one of them is mine) on the outside back
cover.
Richard’s Poetic
collection is a true testament to the depth of his heart and the beauty of your
mind. Each word he writes seems to echo his kindness, wisdom, and the unique
perspective he brings to the world.
An Oxonian
lawyer who loves Greece and has become a great Philhellene, visiting Greece
frequently over the past 50 years, studying her history, way of life, customs
and the Orthodox Christian traditions, captures in the verses of his Poems, with
his inspired pen, his experiences, knowledge, acquaintances and multiple Greek
interests.
The Poet has a
rare gift, being able to translate emotions into Poetry, that resonates with
anyone who reads it. His ability to capture the essence of life's joys and
struggles with such grace is inspiring.
I'm so proud of Richard
and his work, for pouring his soul into these pages, and even more proud to
call him my friend. His creativity and authenticity have the power to touch
lives in profound ways, and I feel this is just the beginning of a journey
filled with even more incredible creations.
May this
collection open new doors for Richard, and may it continue to reflect the
beautiful spirit that makes him such a special person. His success is
well-deserved, and I can’t wait to see where his Poetic journey takes him next!
For the readers
of this blog, I share on this post only one of the fifty Poems of this
collection, which I think is one the best Poems I have ever read in my whole
life.
In Greek we
would say for this Poetic collection: καλοτάξιδη!
