Polly Bee weaves the rustle of leaves and the hush of dusk into poetry that charms the senses and awakens the spirit. Rooted deeply in the natural world, this collection invites us to look again—more gently, more closely—at the world we so often rush past. With a light turn of phrase, Polly B meets contemporary anxieties with grace, these poems are strong and tender, offering glimmers of hope amidst the noise. A quiet balm for a restless age.

I want to hold Donna's words in my hands, swallow them, say them out loud. They are brutal and tender, passionate and nostalgic. They get you from the page right in the guts.

The three poets in this collection have a lot in common. They’re gritty, tough, their observation is born of personal experience, not all of it pleasant. That is recommendation enough but there are many moments too of pure revelation. Donna Campbell’s pearls brimming with moonlight that are the bi-product of pain, the stark beauty of Lesley Benzie’s poem about a father’s death ‘Fan she an her sester met their faither’s unbent gaze…’ and Linda Jackson picking up ‘petals of words from smart-dressed lovers’. Such simple beauty is not easily achieved. At its best poetry can be both empathetic and transformative. This is it, at its best.
