'These lines are occasional, not because they were written from time to time, although they were, of course; rather they were each written for, and on a particular occasion. Many were birthdays, some public events and others private between family and friends. Poetry brings together words in a way that enhances their meaning, and leads to deeper understanding. Occasional Lines is a collection of poems by the author Peter Gilchrist who has a reputation as a skilful user of words.' (Publication summary)
