'With You in Mind' is a collection of poems inspired by experience, individuals or trains of thought, yet addressing universal themes. Ranging from the lyrical language of love to the harsh lexis of grief, 'With You in Mind' will make you laugh and sigh with recognition within the turn of a few pages. It is a picture of what it is to be mother, lover, friend and combatant rolled into one. 'With You in Mind' reveals a picture of the multiplicity of influences that surround us, yet also allows us to see the whole. The 'you' that arises from the sum of the parts. The collection is unashamedly female, of and about women of 'a certain age', yet it sings of hope; of empowerment, of life's lessons, and most of all the joy of being a woman.
