About this ebook
Some knowledge is so intense that when you hold it in the palm of your hand, it ignites.
Personal beliefs can be as vibrant as the glow of a buttercup’s reflection in the sunshine, as warming as that same sunshine upon one’s skin. When darkness comes and the glow fades, the warmth and depth of a belief can be all that wards off the coldness of disquiet. The belief provides the spark from which we can begin again. In his debut collection, Gavin Meggs brings together a set of poems which encapsulate the vibrancy of his own belief. In their expression is an honesty and simplicity that will appeal to many. Reading Buttercup Belief will inspire you to examine your own treasured beliefs and rediscover the energy that lay within them.
