Synopsis

In times of uncertainty we desperately crave something to bring comfort to our troubled

hearts. Whether it’s a song, art, a piece of music or an inspiring poem, we seek to find a

temporary place of refuge against the turmoil of the times. This collection of poetry is not a

panacea for the ills of modern society. It’s not an escape, rather it aims to reflect with

candidness the complex, sometimes contradictory, emotions of the human experience.

Feelings of despair, hope, love, and anger can assail the mind at times and sometimes it’s

almost impossible to put those feelings into words. It’s my hope that those who read the

myriad of emotional shades and colours of my own personal experiences will find a comfort in

knowing that we’re not alone.
