A Jongleur Strayed Verses on Love and Other Matters Sacred and Profane

A wandering jongleur of verse, the poet strings together love‑laden lyrics that move from reverent devotion to playful irreverence. Classical allusions mingle with contemporary slang, giving the poems a timeless yet freshly mischievous voice. He captures hearts that burn, sigh, and stumble, all in lush, musical diction.

Oliver Herford’s witty introduction recalls a sun‑splashed London day when the poet stepped out of Café Royal, a moment that frames the collection as a golden coach among literary traffic. The prologue’s satire of avant‑garde trends invites listeners to settle into a carriage of refined, unpretentious lyricism. Throughout, the jongleur sings for lovers of every stripe, offering both tender trifles and deeper reflections on desire.
