Let the Rain Listen For Me

About the Book

Poems are about our lives and how they fleetingly unfold - a swaying rope bridge from one culture to another, one person to another. The work of manifesting the sound and feeling of what happens, often from a “place of no language”, forms the ground from which I write. How often have I sat on my doorstep, coffee cup in hand, thinking of other women doing the very same thing across the world. We live in the same universe, though most of us will never meet – except through words. Words have the power to sculpt the very deepest response to this strange, exquisite and terrible journey of life, witness what is here, give shape to what is to come, what may never come. I hope this book will find and touch your life as your unknown presence touches mine.
