This poetry collection explores themes of identity, migration, the importance of place, loss, grief and the meaning we ascribe to our lives. From the courage to see an alternative future through dreams to inspiration gained by the transcendence of a global icon, Mary weaves meaning into the ordinariness of everyday. The theme of social justice runs through the poems effortlessly. A year of incomparable global impact 2020 is explored with a focus on the people most vulnerable; refugees in detention, the elderly, those suffering mental health conditions and the alienated.
