'Love Shines Beyond Grief’

In previous collections, Nikki  has touched on subjects not everyone would write about. So, too, in this collection she expresses feelings not often publicly mentioned: the depths of many kinds of grieving  - its joy as well as its sadness.

Anyone who has experienced loss and grief, and lived on, will identify with this ‘blend of poems that together make a powerful statement.’ (Phil Carradice).

Example

No Substitute

The daffodils that had
opened and shone
their yellow and orange,
next to your photo,
have shrivelled and
hung their tissue-paper heads,
when I wasn’t looking.

I put a bookmark picture
of a bluebell wood there,
as a substitute.

There’s no comparison;
but then the photo itself
is no substitute.
