Nei suoi versi ritroviamo lo scorrere ciclico ma effimero delle stagioni, i fiori e soprattutto gli animali, in grado di risvegliare in lei la più variegata gamma dei sentimenti, dalla repulsione allo sgomento, dall'ironia all'incanto.

The Odyssey has survived nearly three thousand years because it speaks to a simple, powerful truth: sometimes the hardest battle is not the war abroad, but the long, uncertain journey back home. In this modern prose retelling, Homer's epic is presented as a continuous story rather than as verse. The language is clear and contemporary, but the structure and major episodes of the original are faithfully preserved.

“I am already a ghost. The girl everyone only loved when she was either high or drunk. The women made invisible by recovery” It is easy to cast judgement upon others you may say, can I do that to myself? Dearest, that is what I do best! These poems take a step back from the love obsessed fool I have been. Without the focus on love, on others and their faults and actions towards me I must look at myself and who I am. Sad Faery Poems follows a heart-shattering look at self, at life and all the hardships endured. Always chasing the light at the end of the tunnel, this time finally reaching it.
