To Do To Dare To Endure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764766814)

To Do, To Dare, To Endure is not a book of comfortable verse - it is a map of the human spirit under pressure.

In three parts, Lance Garbutt guides readers from the quiet discipline of mindfulness, through the raw courage of vulnerability, into the searing terrain of real survival: a rip tide that nearly claimed six lives, a father's death, a marriage's end, falls that should have been fatal.

Each poem is built from lived experience, not abstraction. Garbutt writes as a man who has been dismantled by life and chosen, deliberately, to rebuild - offering his scars as instruction rather than confession. The result is poetry that doubles as a survival manual: tender enough to sit with grief, fierce enough to demand you rise from it.

For readers of inspirational poetry and personal-growth memoir, this collection is a reminder that endurance is not the absence of breaking - it's what comes after.
