Kaleidoscope: Selected Poems are sketches of people and places that have left a deep impression with author Josephine Chadwick. Her poetry collection was written over the last twenty-five years, and most of the 24 poems each fit on less than a page. "I worked in a government employment exchange from leaving school to getting married, and have always lived in the North of England. I moved from Manchester to Sheffield, when I married a steelworker. "We brought up six children and I have always been happy as a homemaker and mother. I live very happily in a garden suburb on the border of a national park. I like music and books and the theatre. "My late husband and I used to go rambling, but I can't walk far now. This is my first book and my last!" Breaking Free Came an exotic bird to my quiet bower Asked: Is there anywhere you'd rather be? You could see birds of paradise, rare flowers Or explore coral reefs beneath the sea. I'll fly you anywhere … say Mandalay Or sail around the timeless isles of Greece Revel in the excitement of Bombay Or in Tibet find spiritual peace. So! All the world to choose from - how surreal! Kaleidoscopic, spins your head round. I tried imagining how it would feel … Someone like me who needs family around. Fear of the unknown led me to refuse And restless now I sit bemused.
