Avebury: Rime & Time is the first formally-published solo anthology
of poems from Andrew Francis. There are a few extant privately
circulated booklets of his poetry.

This collection draws together two of those booklets – one of eight
seasonal sonnets (all included here) and nine from the ‘Faith & Life’s
questions’ booklet again all are included here, plus nearly 30 mostlyunpublished others.

This collection has been re-organised into four sections. The first is ‘In
the beginnings’ and lastly ‘And in the end.....’. These act as bookends to
two larger central sections – the first captures a variety of experiences, entitled ‘Moments and days’, whilst the 17-strong ‘Seasonal Sonnets’ follows the year’s round. At the heart of this volume is the short prose ‘A word in the middle’ explaining Andrew Francis’ journey into poetry.
