Description of the Book:
For The Love, The Fear and The Ego is a collection of poems that explores how the three forces influence our perspective and lives. Dalby's love poems, addressed to his beloved Petite, evidence romance is very much alive and can be found in the smallest of details. Poems for The Fear utilises Dalby's unusual but unique descriptions to create stark scenes and dystopian futures. Finally, the poems dedicated for The Ego speak of imaginary lives that reflect existential challenges and personal growth; tales that many may find relatable or act as a warning for those whose challenges still await. The three themes are refreshingly dispersed across the book resulting in a whirlwind journey of heartfelt goo one minute and harrowing revelations the next.     Using simple rhyming schemes and uncomplicated vocabulary, Dalby's narrative, imagery and drama are accessible to all
