More About the Book

This book is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Elizabeth Mary Clare Stake (née Wilson). She was a beautiful woman, who died much too soon. I still find it hard to write about her, but have written several poems in her honour. Those included in the book are:

Brown into Green
Poem on your Birthday
My Father’s Garden
Do Not Look for Me There

There are several other poems which were inspired by her life and struggles, or make reference to my bereavement. These are:

Bear Witness
Windswept
Heiress
Park Broom

In addition, many of the poems are concerned with the search for solace in times of grief, through the recognition and acceptance of the cycle of life. The poem which gives the book its title is no exception.

I could say more, but I’ll leave the poems to speak for themselves. Looking forward to launch day on 5th of December!
