An 80 page volume, printed on high quality card and paper, thread-bound, illustrated with nonprofessional drawings by the author; entirely designed, produced (apart from printing and binding) and published by the author. The book consists of a collection of poems observing and describing the appearance, character and context - weather and river conditions, human activity - of the eighteen road bridges over the tidal River Thames in London, from Tower Bridge in the east to Richmond in the west. There are three sequences of all eighteen, each sequence written at a different time, between the mid-1980s and the late 1990s. Composed in generally lucid and conventional language, the forms range in length, and in style from classical scan and rhyme to free verse. The tone varies from comical and carefree to sober and intricate. The title Bridge Bluster was influenced by that of the preceding book Brighton Burble (and succeeded by the publication of Beech Blurt). A prose preface explains the autobiographical background to the poet's idea for the book.
