Produktbeschreibung
The Roads We Travel is a very personal collection of poems which serve to illustrate the small moments in life which are seemingly insignificant but which can hold so much meaning, poignancy and sentiment. Each poem offers a voyeuristic peep into a private microcosm created by memory and reflection. In her gentle scrutiny of human nature, Diane Valerie Burgess explores joy, sadness, fallibility, loss – the spectrum of human emotion mirrored in nature, in the transcendent, in ourselves. Burgess' poems are both nostalgic and urgently relevant, addressing past experiences and exploring contemporary subjects. Sometimes humorous, sometimes bittersweet, sometimes a brave but tender contemplation of grief and fear, each subject is handled with care and beautifully illustrated with words.
