Life: A Volume Packed Full of Prose & Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781909304789)

Beth Richards has long enjoyed the reputation, in her writings, as a 'wise owl'. She has the perspicacity of seeing 'deep down things', right into the heart of things and has the ability to speak for many of us who are growing older, approaching retirement, and combining the wisdom of our years with the frustrations of age, when we become disillusioned with money spent on material gain instead of alleviating poverty, and become fed up with tailgaters driving too close to us! She is not afraid to speak out and provide a voice for us golden oldies who often suffer the indignity of being invisible to the younger generation who live at a different pace. Most touching is Beth's evocation, on behalf of many of us, of memories and longings from days gone by - the longings for lost intimacies, of treasured moments no longer there, of being held and comforted; yet through her prose and poems we can share the reevocation of such moments, even 'Reliving that tingling sensation before the explosion'! Beth has the soul of a poet and she is not afraid to bare her soul, however sensitive, and it's this sincere and honest quality that will make the reader feel like a close friend.
