Able in the presence of rocks
Poetic memoir exploring the themes of death, grief, birth, life and the subtle and overt ways in which they meet and reflect one another. Written in response to the death of my husband, closely followed by the birth of my second child, this personal work brings life to death, to speak of the transformational experience which can occur when one is privileged to witness the lifting of the veil. Raw, moving and unabashed, the collection puts poetic language to the thresholds of birth, death and rebirth, via the lens of the natural world and domestic life. The collection rears and finds an unwavering faith from within the depths of grief, in a celebration of life and living.
