The Flared Black Skirt
In this insightful and thought-provoking selection of poems, the reader is taken on a journey through life and death, love and heartbreak, joy and hardship: in other words, human existence in its myriad aspects. Written in deceptively simple language and often in the form of homilies and riddles, these poems cast the familiar in an unfamiliar light. Skilfully employing repeating patterns, personification and metaphor, the author offers a compelling reflection on who we are and how we navigate the world around us.
