    About this ebook

    Poetry flavoured by light, colour and dreams.


    ‘Juliet’s poetry expresses an aesthetic nursed by the quality of light shared between Tuscany and Saint Helena. The experience in these sensed spaces is both precisely shaped and organically-flowing, a dance between starknesses. The poet’s eye is sensual, enamored by colors, textures, and also spiritual, a witness of intricate beauty in the midst of mortality.’

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
