Life Observed. Moments Remembered.

What I particularly liked is the way you combine poetry with your personal observations. There is a wonderful sense of curiosity throughout the book, and I found myself smiling at some of the witty and playful moments ( A Bride’s Dilemma- the unkind version) , while other passages made me stop and think ( Stop! And Think; What we can do ;Mother; Kin against Kin) Your writing feels very personal and honest, and I think that is what gives the book its special character.
I really enjoyed the variety in the poems. Some are light and humorous, while others have a deeper and more reflective feeling. I like the way you look at ordinary experiences from an unusual perspective and turn small observations into something meaningful.

“Adrian Church finds something worth noticing in ordinary life. Some poems made me smile, while others stayed with me because of their honesty about friendship, memory and loss.”

“An enjoyable and varied collection. The mixture of light-hearted verse, personal memories, nature and reflections on life means there is always something different on the next page.”

“Warm, observant and very human. I particularly enjoyed the poems about friendship, ageing and the people and places we continue to remember.”

“There is a wonderful range of subjects here, from playful humour to history, travel and deeply personal experiences. It is the kind of book you can open anywhere and find something interesting.”
