This powerful and moving collection of sixty poems written chronologically over a period of one year when the author was 60 provides an illuminating and observational reflection of day-to-day life in a mixture of lighter and more serious works. The rhyming style creates an immersive feel to the work, while the prose-led pieces stand out in their difference. The striking honesty of the work allows the reader to act as a travelling friend or a confidant rather than an audience as they are drawn deeper into the author's personal reflections. The moments of humour interwoven between the more painful considerations have a captivating effect.
