And the Grass Has Just Got Longer
W B Yeats once said, ‘Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.’ This collection of poems reflects the trials and challenges of life. Writing from the heart, Lesley Cresswell exposes a degree of fragility, tenderness and vulnerability that demonstrates how reality can often get in the way of our dreams.
Inspired by a dual career in nursing and teaching, the poems reflect life’s traumas, heartbreak and a passion for social action. It is an ongoing reflection of the dreams we lose and those that we keep.
“This collection of poetry reads as though the author had dipped her pen into the innermost recesses of her heart and given us a glimpse of what joys and sorrows dwell there. Poignant, uplifting and powerful, this collection of verse lifts the spirits as it plucks at the heartstrings. A remarkable debut.” Ruth Leigh, author and poet.
