This second collection, published six years after the author was widowed, describes her journeys of discovery - of new loves, new places, new experiences, and of herself. Yet through all of her adventures, near or far, in or out of love, someone was always close by and it was to him, Claire-Louise always returned. Entertaining yet compassionate, light-hearted yet profound, these poems are about life after death in more ways than one. 

I do not see a light

Or hear a step upon the stair

I can almost touch you

I know that you are there.

I can feel your presence

So strongly, so unseen

But I cannot tell anyone

They’d say it’s just a dream
