This author uses words as a sculptor uses clay. She doesn't change the shape of the word; it's the surrounding words that contain the poetic surprise. She explains that she personally likes to be surprised by a word that doesn't usually follow another. It is a way to startle the listener into looking deeper into the thought.

In this volume we look at those years of youth through the eyes and pens of classic poets. They reveal times of hardship, of fear, of love and loss.

It is human nature to create and compete. Both of these are brought together in sport. Many games began in distant eons and gradually adapted and became codified to those we know today. In this volume we celebrate, through the verse of so many well-known poets, sports of all kinds. Sports for the rich, sports for the poor and all manner in between. As Henry Newbolt would say, ‘Play up, play up, and play the game'.
