'These poems are laced with wonderful black humour. They are reflections on the subject of death. Our fears, struggles and constant loss of loved ones, friends and strangers. They come as light hearted warnings of what is to come. A range of situations, are described, some funny, some sad, with every unfortunate heading for the same destination. Death is viewed from many perspectives – as narrator, perpetrator, friend and tyrant. Death is turned over, examined, to be seen from every possible angle to uncover its secrets. Yet surprisingly, it is an anthology of comforting irony, philosophy and hope. It offers balmy patches for everyone’s soul.' (Publication summary)
