"The olive groves have seen it all before -
The armies marching blindly off to war..."
Glen Oglaza's new collection of poems, "Olive Groves" doesn't shy away from truth. It walks through the wreckage of war and the warmth of love, through joy, loss, memory, and meaning. With dry humour, quiet rage, and deep compassion, these verses explore what it means to live and to keep living in a broken, beautiful world.
"Olive Groves" has poems about fathers, lovers, children, politics, injustice, nature, and the kind of ordinary moments that leave a lasting mark. Some will make you laugh. Some might leave you silent.
You don't need to understand poetry - just life.
