The introduction to the CD will give you some sense of what it is about.

When I recorded these poems in the quiet of my home I read them especially for people who are dying. Others I hope will benefit, too - after all, we are all dying - but my particular focus is to bring comfort, understanding and peace to people who are experiencing their own death, or that of someone dear to them.

I first met death close up when my parents died in a motor accident when I was twenty-six. Maybe something about the suddenness of that led me many years later to accompany my old uncle in his dying. And maybe something in the rush of the funeral led to my wanting to help families create wonderful ceremonies of remembrance and celebration. I don't know - but I feel immeasurably blessed and honoured to do the work I do, and to be able to bring you this collection of poems that flow from my experience.

Whatever your circumstances, may these poems accompany you well.
