They say that in the end we’re reunitedWith all we’ve lost – not love and circumstanceBut umbrellas, tissues and socksOr, in my case, that one photographTucked inside the book wedged halfway down –Or was it up – the bookshelf we once hadThe lives of dragonflies pass largely unseen until they express themselves for the briefest of moments on the wing ― and, having fulfilled their obligation to future generations, disappear.

A beautiful selection of poetry which really touched a sense of nostalgia. Whoever you are, you will find some which speak directly to you - I loved The Table and Estate Agent. Poetry is not my usual genre but Graham makes it easily accessible. A book to have on your coffee table and pick up on a lazy afternoon and dip into.
