Poetry and Prose:

In Touch with the Essence

“I appreciated a personal yearning for ‘the Personal’ in the natural world (creation). The structure of the anthology is gently seasonal throughout an apparently autobiographic prose style.  I enjoyed the poetic salutations and sweet observations.  ‘The Long Night’ (May 7th) clearly expresses a state of uncertainty and the ‘agony’ of so-close-to-knowing questions!  The frugal use of punctuation (often its absence) lends a flow and pace to the work in this instance.” – David Secrett – Artist

“Poignant and philosophical, the poetry in Carol Anne’s book is both thought-provoking and inspirational. The reader is also given a fascinating glimpse into the writer’s world through the diary extracts. A book that you will probably read cover to cover to start with, but then will want to keep dipping into time and time again. A valuable addition to any bookshelf!” – Jane Redfern Jones

“In Touch with the Essence is quite beautiful in its depth, its expression of natural touch, the colours in your writing are very vivid, and the canvas you paint with your words is inspiring…. thank you for the book. I shall return to it often!!” – Roy Hale

“I found In Touch with the Essence by Carol Anne Strange to be a very rewarding and creative combination of meaningful poetry and diary extracts, which is obviously the result of many hours of hard work. Each page draws you further into the author’s world and emphasises her passion for writing, love of her family and unique connection with nature — brilliant!” – Jane Grimshaw
