by Shelby Forrest

Shelby Forrest is a well-known identity in internet poetry spheres. He has become a mentor and an example to all who aspire to master rhyme and metre. Out of the Forest represents over fifty years of commitment to poetry, and to the values and principles which enrich our lives and ease our journey in these troubled times. As a poet, Shelby Forrest works the mechanics of his craft with an ease which enables him to reach all sections of society; and he extracts maximum advantage from the discipline that comes with having to match a wide range of subject matter with a defined technical style.

This is the style of poetry a lot of us grew up with; and as such it has not only served to introduce us to the world of poets, but it also defines our heritage whilst affording us the opportunity to put in perspective our own little part of the world around us. Welcome to the world of Shelby Forrest. Enter it and you will immediately recognize and appreciate what is considered a dying art in most poetry circles. You will also find a remarkable sympathy and understanding of the human condition as the story of life unfolds in a simple yet revealingly honest way.

Come, celebrate this life, as Shelby Forrest shares with you the observations and emotions of a poet inspired by family, children, animals, faith, love, philosophy, humour, the military and a deep and abiding love for his country.
