Lone Lines & Quiet Echoes
Buying Options:
Life is an unpredictable journey, full of surprises, ups and downs, and unexpected twists and turns. We all have our own unique experiences and stories to tell, and for me writing has been a way to make sense of my journey, and if my words can touch others in a meaningful way, that is a gift beyond measure.
- Paul Clifton
The BlurbÂ
What if one line of poetry could open a world of imagination?
Lone Lines & Quiet Echoes is both a return and a reinvention for long-time followers, and a compelling introduction for new readers to a poet whose words linger and resonate. Preserving the lyrical voice Paul’s readers have come to love, these monostich poems are brief, powerful, and endlessly open to interpretation. Each line becomes an ambiguous poetic canvas, inviting you to pause, reflect, and discover your own meaning. Both fresh and familiar, this collection is an interactive journey—where the poet begins the thought, and you complete it.
Lovers of Poetry!
Already acclaimed, this is a great anthology taking you on a lyrical journey full of a rollercoaster of emotions and adventures.
An important book of poems from someone who is at the forefront of organising poetry and literary events in North East Wales. Paul captures perfectly the unpredictability of our daily experience, as the river reminds him of life’s changeable drift. There are many real poetic gems in this collection. I warmly recommend to all lovers of poetry.
Peter Read - Poet, Playwright and Author of From Hollywood To Wrexham.
There is something brittle and realistic in Paul’s poems, often inspired by
natural surroundings and specific places. But people are important to Paul –
friends and family – as well as locations both near and far. There is an honesty
and a directness in his work, and an emphasis on the gift of a ‘moment in time’.

A beautiful collection of autobiographical short poems from 2019 to the present. The poems are all from the heart and are often very personal and moving. The collection is illustrated with the poet's own photos which deeply enriches the whole experience.
