About the Book

The Commute is a book that unfolds as if a single journey into and out of London. It is a tapestry of poetry, visual imagery and prose that has been carefully woven together across the years of doing this necessary travel to work and back, familiar to so many. The small details of life are noticed here and celebrated, threaded through with a humour and wisdom that provides often moving insights into the human condition. There will be many who will recognise the unspoken thoughts and feelings. Those who have experienced the mundanity, who have seen the daily snap shots of life, the changing world, the routines, the weariness and the alienation. Each of us anonymous cogs turning within the machine. It is a book that at its heart is a salute to the undimmed human spirit of the commuter. To all those who get up day after and day and despite those cold and lonely mornings they quietly and resolutely keep on keeping on.

About the Author :
Andrew Johnston Davies is a psychiatrist, artist and author based in Hampshire. Whilst the countryside remains his natural habitat and the root of his artistic inspiration, he ventures into the city on a daily basis where urban landscapes, strangers and the commute have all become familiar images. Themes that explore disconnection, alienation, loneliness, love and loss. The Universal themes of life. Andrew states that "Art is the drawstring that brings the different strands of my life together and yet for years it had been a private affair with writing kept within notebooks and images kept within drawers." This all changed in 2019, when the Argentinian magazine La Tundra selected his writing and images for publication, after which point Andrew was inspired to complete The Commute and make Art, poetry and prose a serious pursuit.
