Brushstrokes of the Mind brings together a collection of poems that spread the colour of nature and the psyche with light and shade; colour and monotone; form and abstract - like an artist's brush. In Barbara Gurney's fourth poetry collection, where hope follows melancholy, 'Roses of the Heart', 'Mellow Glow' and 'In the Moment' remind us that our lives are painted with many hues, and blue can turn to gold.
