Poetry. In these poems and sequences, Simon Mundy uses a lyrical impressionism to explore people and places that are just out of reach or left behind. There is humor in his warm observation and sometimes a poignant celebration of beauty and anger at its loss. AFTER THE GAMES is Simon Mundy's third book of poems. Simon Mundy has also written several books on musicians--among them biographies of Elgar, Purcell and Tchaikovsky.
