Bøker av Charles Cooper

In 2020, Charles Cooper published his last poetry book, The More Complete Second Verse. It was meant to be complete, and perhaps there would be a third verse, but other ventures loomed larger than poetry. Then, COVID happened. Like so many things ventures were put on hold and Poetry, which people turn to when all else fails them, became a safe space to reflect on the things which otherwise go unsaid. Join Cooper in his journey through the dark days of the pandemic and find the joy that comes from life, love, and achievement.

Exploring the development of Sussex from the time of the Norman Conquest to the end of the nineteenth century, this book presents a micro-history of a place that mirrors many of the changes in wider England. Charting the transformation of the village, it depicts the life of the people through the ages in a blend of economic and cultural history.
