The poems in Jean Stevens’ latest collection range from long held memories. There is also regret for things missed. Some take a darker look at the present turmoil and the feeling that we are pushing the world to hell, but there is also hope.

The poems in Jean Stevens’ latest collection range from long held memories: who is this girl running towards me out of the past to present day concerns in a time of uncertainty when loved ones are far away: knowing I might never see you again, I’m deep in how it was then.

There is also regret for things missed: You should have been a sprinter, and a reflection on: the jumbled bones of the lives we used to live.

The poem ‘2021’ takes a darker look at the present turmoil and the feeling that we are: pushing the world to hell, but there is also hope: There was mystery and longing in the ancient call to prayer which made us believe that nothing separates us from the other side, and the feeling all returning travellers have: looking ahead for the light that will bring them home.
