Lovely little read. I had the pleasure of hearing a few selected pieces read aloud before I purchased in-person. Each poem is a a hearty empathetic illustration of emotion. You'll find plenty of familiarity and comfort in these words.

I sat down in the garden with your book, intending to read a few poems a day.
However, the poems were so captivating, I read the entire book in one sitting!
I really enjoyed the depth of emotion conveyed in the
Love is Bitch poems, and from the Tales & Other Stories section, The Hummingbird and the Lizard was my favorite.
Thanks for such an engaging read, which made for a lovely day!
Looking forward to your next Book!
