Winters Demon is the titular epic in Victor Venhuizen's debut poetry collection. Rather than a common theme, it is a collection of stories and ideas that moves from an alternate origin of our four seasons through to depression and a day at the beach, to finally come to rest at the beckoning call of a warm bed on a cold day.When we're youngwe take delightin fairy tales and fantasyYet once grown upit's oft replacedwith downhearted solemnityFrom then onall is graveuntil we're six feet underSo sod it all,I say to you,let's lose ourselves in wonder.
