This is the first published collection of poetry by Jacqueline Hall. The poems cover themes of love, loss, memory and friendship but primarily they are about nature; the observation of native flora and fauna, wildlife and trees and the pleasures of learning. Many were written about familiar haunts and walks in Kent, Oxfordshire and Norfolk. Interwoven are reflections on the natural world's revelations and communications with us, the everyday grief and joy of being human and the mystery and abundance of creation and space.
