Omschrijving
This poetry anthology speaks of hope and wellbeing, offering light in the darkness without – and this distinction is vital – pretending that the darkness doesn’t exist … What a joy of a book this is. To paraphrase Wendy Cope: I love it. I’m glad it exists.

Impossible not to read it in a single gulp
