There's an expression: to be comfortable in your own skin. The words contain the idea that it's possible to be at ease with yourself and your life – and that there's fulfilment to be found in feeling this way. These thoughtful poems offer moments of pleasure in uncomplicated things – flowers in a window box or eating toast at midnight – and remind us that we don't always need to look very far to experience a sense of calm and wellbeing. The world can be a place that we know and trust: “There's a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind.” - from 'Meditations in an Emergency' by Cameron Awkward-Rich This is a selection to enjoy when we want to be reminded that if we look carefully, we have all we need to experience a sense of serenity and peace. Poems by Laurie Bolger, Em Gray, Paula Jennings, Vanessa Lampert, Alden Nowlan, Cameron Awkward-Rich, Sara Teasdale, Jerrold Yam, Luke Samuel Yates and Dean Young. Cover illustration by Sara Boccaccini Meadows. Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
