Full Description
The author's observations make this collection so special. Whether it concerns his parents, a painting, or indeed the weather, the seemingly unimportant is put under a lens. In just a few words a whole new world is exposed.
The poems have a remarkable rhythm, which acts like a personal fingerprint, and sucks you into the pulse of life, love and loss. And that is what remains of us.
Gary Day believes that writing poetry is a way of learning about yourself and of finding common ground with others.
The resulting collection is a deeply moving account of the meaning of life.
