It was a gentle meetingby that I mean there were no violent wavesof emotion to swallow us up into this tideof anger that so often engulfs us.In this reflective and thought-provoking collection of poetry, the emotions of human existence are explored with acute observation and gentle lyricism.From the questioning indictment of war in 'Buried Alive', through musings on poetic inspiration in 'The Essence of Me', to the struggle of relationships in 'This Game of Love', Sheila Warden shares her life experiences with us.
