I remember the stroke.
That was a big event.
So all the things that happened
before the stroke
were all really important. For
after the stroke,
there was three years
I didn’t know what I was doing.
The immense power of the personal imagery in the words Allan has created really hit me; I had planned to read a couple of poems but then I could not stop - my tears were from recognition not pity. Catriona's voice reached deep inside me and I feel as if I have met her myself. This collection should be on school curriculums, it conveys a message that is so wonderfully prosaic yet so profound that "we are all one".
