Composed during Covid-19, these poems reveal the fragility of life and the strength of love in dark times. The poet finds solace in the little things of life: a cup of coffee with a friend, a walk by the seashore with her family, in the quiet loveliness of the natural environment, in the dailiness of living even as death seems around the corner. The poems recall the poet's life and memories of loved ones from Suva, Canberra and Delhi, places in the heart.

'With deceptive lightness, gentle irony and surprising insight, Return to what remains carries the sadness, frustration and affection of living in a time of human separation.' - Marcelle Freiman, Sydney
