Publisher's Synopsis
A GIRL FROM THE MOUNTAINS is my second volume of poems. 34 poems that I found along the way as my search for the perfect poem continued over the last year or so. A lot of the imagery is inspired by the beautiful part of Spain where I live. Every day I marvel at the wonders around me, the sky, the sea, the shifting sand dunes, all reflecting the silver light of the moon or the bright gold of daytime. It's easy to be a poet in a place like this. And of course when I travel to other places I feel inspired too, by the power of mountains and the calm of valleys, by the wind or the rain, by the glimpse of something only I could see. That's the job of the poet, isn't it, to capture stolen images that no one else notices and to present them in words to the world?
