Lost city : Verses

The collection opens with a tender homage to the Fenlands of Cambridgeshire, painting the countryside in layers of amber sunsets, mist‑clad willows and winding rivers. Wallace’s verses move from the quiet charm of gentle counties to mythic journeys beside the Styx, where ordinary shadows meet ancient ferrymen. The poems blend personal memory with classical allusion, inviting listeners to wander through fields, town squares and moon‑lit waterways.

Later sections shift toward seasonal reflections, tracing autumn’s gold and winter’s frost while the speaker mourns a lost love among familiar courtyards and chestnut‑lined streets. Each piece holds a quiet lyricism that captures both the beauty of everyday moments and the deeper ache of remembrance. As the voice drifts from bustling Cambridge lanes to solitary riverbanks, listeners are offered a meditative soundtrack to the enduring pulse of place and longing.
