Book Cover & Preview Text
Another Life I already knew you When we first met; Does that sound strange? You know the feeling? It’s one of acknowledgement You might think Yes, we have met: Where was it now? I’m sorry, I can’t remember But I never forget a face. We never had met - Not in this lifetime But in one gone before: Somewhere in an English summer meadow: The dirge of a small Aeroplane and a motor mower Taking me back, Via the hypnotic drone Of today’s technology. I loved you then And I love you now. **

About the Book
A selection of 101 poems in this illustrated collection take you through the varying dimensions of the spiritual realm, cat antics, the blues, legends, rediscovering friendship, tongue-in-cheek humor, nostalgia, and tributes to important people. “I have known Amber Jo Illsley for many years. I am a very prosaic kind of writer, but we need a poet of Amber’s talents to bring to our attention the wonders of our environment. Her book of poetry will bring to life for you a very wide range of topics, from humor to spiritual in nature, being expressed in her own distinctive way for your enjoyment” (Gary Laughlin Jeffery, BSc, writer, apiarist, and animal rights supporter.)
