This first collection of poems introduces Bridget Nolan's deeply moving, wonderfully evocative, verbally inventive and highly varied voice. From the title poem `A Walk With Charles Dickens', which makes you feel that Bridget really met him, to her beautiful ode `Romney Marsh', and dozens of poems that stir the emotions first one way, then another, this collection is completely unforgettable. Inspired by Nature, Love and human vulnerability, folly and yearning, Bridget brings her beloved Kent alive for readers everywhere. She also explores the effects of grief following a deeply personal loss.
The poems are accompanied by personal notes, sharing the writer's thoughts and reasoning behind individual poems.
