The industrial past. Stories of real people. Arts and culture. History and contemporary life. Merseyside provides almost an embarrassment of riches enough to inspire any poet! Dean Fraser sought for these poetic tales to do justice to the uniqueness of Merseyside and all the while during the writing of this collection his sense of humour was never too far away (he feels it must be imprinted within the DNA of the region!)

The poet came to appreciate and genuinely love Merseyside as he wrote this collection during the Covid-19 lockdown of spring 2020. Inspired by places he had visited over the years and tales of people encountered along the way. Some of these are people he actually met; others are those who left their mark on history now brought to life once more through the power of words. 2020.

Over the course of nearly a decade Dean Fraser had accumulated a vast file of unpublished poetry. Perhaps they did not quite fit into the theme of existing collections or they were simply too personal at the time to share. Having been finally persuaded to allow some of this lost poetry to be made public, Dean went through his own archive to personally select his most compelling unseen poetry to be shared in this collection. Such is the freedom the poet felt, he even included a film noir influenced short story to conclude the book!

Beyond Poetry became the first time I managed to completely and truly get out of my own way to allow the words to flow through me 100% from my higher-self or source.

Writing this celebration of nature and life was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for your friendly poet. Inspiration came from the land, ancient legends and folklore, and the stories of ordinary people from pre-history right through to contemporary lives in the 21st Century.

My intention right from the beginning had been to create a collection of exquisitely beautiful poems. I wanted these poetic tales to stand the test of time, to be relevant and appreciated a hundred or thousand years from now.

I dedicate this book to all of my readers, with a wish for you to feel as inspired as I did when it was created. 2017

Inspired and written about places the poet came to know while living in Cheshire for some fifteen years or on his trips back to visit the County. A walk around Chester Walls experiencing echoes of the past, exploring the leafy countryside, a cricket match in Prestbury and a night spent at the Edge in Alderley, finding seclusion amidst the hustle and bustle of life, a visit to Tatton one summer’s day, and poetic homages to the rich industrial history and natural beauty of Cheshire. Although he has lived in many places since, the poet always feels a part of his heart belongs to Cheshire and when he finds himself there it does feel like coming back home.

Dean Fraser says he sees his poetic tales as windows offering glimpses into a frozen moment of time, rather like seeds trapped in amber. 2015
