Publisher's Synopsis
The power of nature is a central theme in Life in Assorted Poems, the debut collection by 18 year old Faith Horne.
-The roaring of the sea / the calls of the seagulls / brisk winds swaying the grass / eroding rocks crying for help, - she writes in The Melody of the Sea.
This vastness contrasts with the everyday issues such as exams, loneliness, and nerves addressed in some of her other poems.
-We take exams and tests. / We pass, merit, distinction. / Some give up and some fight back, - Horne observes in Exam.
We all feel suffering and pain, but ultimately, nature's beauty will prevail.
