John Howley has been an author, writer, poet and musician since his formative days through the 1960s and beyond. Since graduation he has worked a plethora of ""real jobs"": electrician, engineer, builder, professional musician (not a real job), nurse, carer. Whatever he undertook, he was always observing nature and humanity, and taking notes, often turning those notes into songs. Writing If a Tree Falls is his attempt to raise awareness of our part in nature, and nature's part in us. He always believed in fairies, trees and angels, because his father told him so.
“Wondrous and beautifully written, a sparse emotional journey of lyrical pleasure…” Margaret, Readalot reviewer [NT]
