There’s the visit to the Flea Market, and just across the sea, reflective poetry about the war that raging between Israel and Lebanon at the time.Poolside Poetry attempts to peel away the different layers of Cyprus’s personality and bring it to life. It’s a beautiful country with a lot going on, but above all else the book describes the daily torment and struggle of what it is to be Scottish, pale, and living under a 100 degree sun.
