About the Author

The writing in Building Work is an exercise in human endeavour, an exhortation of all that is positive in a negative world. In his Prose and Poetry the writer has unearthed gems of creation amidst the rubble and dislocation of contemporary living, somewhat like an archaeologist might stumble upon some ancient and sacred relics. The solemn aspect in the writer's craft conceals his profound and underlying belief in the redemption of the human spirit. Despite the very dysfunction at the heart of the material, the author refuses to lose faith in his subjects, and is of the belief, that love, when it is cherished, can conquer all. This book is just one of many accounts, of the contest between Good and Evil, where Good just about shades it.
