The Tides of Happiness and Sadness is the first poetry and photographs collection from Rob E Cole. Rob has been been published in many UK poetry magazines. These are poems of personal force in a world that can feel unreal, inhuman and hollow. Many people turn to poetry only at difficult times, whether for consolation in loss or affirmation in love, or when facing other extremes and anxieties. The Tides of Happiness and Sadness captures some of those moments.
