Anna Claire has written these poems with older schoolchildren in mind, hoping they will encourage lively debate and reflection. Many of the poems are personal, and some are tragic, but they are based on situations and circumstances that most of us encounter or face at some point during our lifetime.
Reflection enables us to respond to others with understanding, and perhaps with the benefit of doing so, we are better equipped to deal with that which might otherwise overwhelm oneself, or those close to us.
The human spirit is strong and has amazing abilities to overcome difficulties.
