The Write Stuff vol. 7

Speaking with ghosts, by Lyn Reeves

 

From the launch speech (Robyn Mathison)

At the beginning of Speaking with Ghosts the poet invites us to come with her to a secret place. In poems filled with colour and the light of sun, moon and stars, her breathtaking imagery and magical use of words takes us with her into the world, to memory and to journey within, as she lets the secrets out.
Lyn Reeves’ connection with the world is palpable. Even when she writes of longing, loss or grief, the poems are celebratory. Each one embodies aching tenderness for the fragility, joy and wonder of life in this world.
This is a book to fill the mind’s eye and stir the soul. Read these poems: feel them sing in you.

The risks you took
