Before it's too late

This eclectic collection of poetry explores the fragility and impermanence of all that is precious in this world - ourselves, our loved ones, our homes, our familiar places, our countries and more generally life on planet earth and beyond.

Considers the challenge of achieving a balance between holding onto and honouring the past and letting it go to enable us to live well in the present and value what we have in the here and now.

Acknowledges the need to endure struggles, accept our mortality and embrace both endings and new beginnings with hope.

All expressed in a variety of forms - Villanelle, Fibonacci, Pantoums, Triolets, Concrete, Specular and free verse.
