A Quietus

A Quietus is a collection that contemplates calm spaces between moments of life and reflects on the process of our release from existence. Delicate yet fierce spare yet multi layered this is an emotionally affecting collection written by a poet who affirms life by interrogating mortality. A Quietus is a lyrical and erudite lesson in surrender. In a series of nuanced and carefully crafted poems we discover ways to live and to face death and how when we encounter the reaper - we must learn to fall gracefully/ gilded by the folds of her cloak but not before grasping hold of love like a lifebelt.
