This volume is a contribution to that comeback. These poems capture moments and memories for us from the everyday to the sublime, joy and pain, eternity and change. In every culture and throughout history poetry has been the music of the soul. These poems are uniquely of our culture, yet universal in reach.; Dorothy Gilding is a retired primary teacher with a varied career, teaching across Victoria and the ACT; including secondary classes and individual tutoring ofstudents with special needs. Her particular love is literature and she has been writing since age ten when her first poem was published. She has won a number of prizes and awards for poetry, including the Geelong Teachers' College poetry prize both years there. She currently tutors older adults in creative writing and delights in inspiring others with a passion for poetry. "I could live without just about anything - except poetry. Dorothy lives with her husband in Albury, NSW.; "A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words." Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet. "Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular." Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher. "Most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignores most people." Adrian Mitchell "Painting was called silent poetry and poetry speaking painting." Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) U.S. poet, essayist and lecturer.; Download; Google Preview content
