The writing of poetry is often considered to be a cathartic experience, and I think this is most certainly the case with the majority of the fifty poems that make up this first edition. These are poems written from the heart, with passion, and above all, with a refreshing honesty. They perfectly convey the sentiment of their four themes: loss, hope, love, and life. The poems are accessible; they are works that any feeling, thinking human being can understand and also empathise with.
