A Sort of Honey

In his writing, Paddock ever seeks to find harmony with self and place, and in these poems you will discover outcomes of decades of dream work and the collecting of oral history. More often than not Paddock is a narrative poet: he believes deeply in story, that to make a point it is best to tell a story, that stories are containers for us that make sense of our lives and keep us from going too far astray. Risen from Paddock's home ground, these poems are a revelation of local wisdom, local wonders.
