Somerset man's new poetry collection tackles love, loss, war and peace
A new collection of poems and songs has been published by a Somerset poet and songwriter. John Eaton's collection, Life is a Rollercoaster, explores themes of love, loss, war, and peace, and was published on Monday, May 5. The collection, which also contains 13 songs, also focus on specific moments in history, including the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Poems such as Immortal Shrine and Cold, Cold Heart highlight the violence and coldness of war. Lines from Immortal Shine include: "It is sad, so very sad, when you see bodies in the street, blood pooling by their feet. "Raping children by the side of the road, then watching their bodies decompose. "Massacre; genocidal crimes. "What is it that you feel inside?" Another verse from Cold, Cold Heart reads: "It's winter in the cities; it's freezing in the towns. "The countryside is full of snow, you're aiming to bring our country down. "You've got a cold, cold heart. "You're lost in your cold, cold mind." For the songs in the collection, readers can scan the accompanying QR codes to hear and see music videos. The collection can be purchased from all good bookstores or at A spokesperson for Mr Eaton said: "This powerful anthology invites you to reflect deeply on the meaning of existence, guiding you through the highs and lows of the human experience. "Feel the heartbreak of loss and the bitterness of conflict yet find solace in love and the fragile peace that follows. "Through it all, the unwavering theme of resilience shines, reminding us of our capacity to endure and overcome."
