    About this ebook

    Signs of Life is a short collection of poetry that explores the concept of what it means to be alive. Modern day issues are tied in with themes of nature and the human condition. Despite the range of diversity displayed in the human race, we all share common experiences. We navigate ourselves through the world, attempting to lead happy and healthy lives. Many will empathise with this highly emotive and honest account of human experiences. Just as we all do, Signs of Life is an attempt to derive meaning within the world we live.
