Beskrivning
Choose a honeyed place to make a harbour...In her second poetry collection, Jeni Williams searches for sweetness in bitter times. In an uncertain and fractured world, cities shudder to smoking ruin; the lost and confused call out across hospital corridors; and too-small shoes come apart in the rain. But, through the cracks, there are glimpses of flowers and small joys - bluebells and celandines, jasmine and honeysuckle, pomegranate syrup and cinnamon cake - a huge expanse of sky. As light emerges from darkness the characters of these poems sing out, readying themselves to begin again. Still here, and very much alive.

Recensioner i media

‘Poems that carefully carve, through moments of stillness, the space for heart-speaking to happen, where what has not been said becomes song, where grief is acknowledged and transformed to hope. More than that, these are poems of empowerment. Animals and plants are vital presences here, reinforcing the plea that we remain attentive, appreciative, and tend to one another. There healing is, and grace.’ – clare e. potter‘Driven by a compassionate curiosity and always attentive to the delicate nuances of language and form, these vivid, intelligent poems offer hope in turbulent times through their celebration of the mysteries of ordinary life – birds, colour, flowers, cakes, even slugs or a biro – and the power of words and stories.’ – Diana Wallace
