Postscript to an active life
Phoebe Caldwell (age 84) (Pavilion Publishers, 2017)
Phoebe Caldwell made the difficult decision to accept the inevitabilities of old age and leave the home she loved to move into sheltered accommodation. How does one reconcile one’s pride and need for independence with the realities of a failing body? Or leave behind so many memories and possessions and yet hold onto one’s identity? As Phoebe tries to answer these and other questions she reflects on her past and shares her insights into life.
Poetry collection, privately printed limited edition, 2018
These short acrostic poems were written from 2014 to 2018. They are dedicated to the person I fell in love with over that time and are intended For Her Eyes Only. She is very knowledgeable on flowers so these poems are written in 12 different floral voices (plus an ultimatum from a cereal plant). My assumption is that just as we enjoy inspecting and appreciating flowers they in turn enjoy scrutinising us.
