Seahorses

Scottish poet Hazel Frew's first collection of poems offers tales of families of growing up and of the world around us seen with uncommonly fresh eyes.I like my poems to get to the point be direct but in an unusual indirect way. Glimpses of dreams lovers sickness grief-strange portraits and incidents. Succinct neat precise. Cutting things away shearing images keeping words to a minimum-hopefully elaborate sharp funny and poignant-with the aloud sound of the poem intrinsic to the form. The resulting poems incisive honest and humorous. My first collection is a camera of twelve years cataloguing quirky characters and events family relationships death the world comets and beyond.
