Publisher's Synopsis
Jacci Bulman's first poetry collection is about love, of many kinds. She writes as a poet for whom, 'a mortal smack has shaken every perspective', through her experiences of a dealing with a brain tumour whilst studying at Oxford university, and recently skin cancer.
Ambitious and positive, her poetry ranges over philosophical questions whilst connecting to the unusual and the everyday, using intimate experiences and images. From the loss of a loved one from drug abuse to working with courageous children in Vietnam, from wrestling with a close personal relationship to exploring the spiritual within us all this is poetry that connects. Bulman uses a lightness of touch even when exploring darkness, and her accessible style invites the reader in.
