Inscapes & Horizons Reflections on Life in Verse (ISBN: 9780904849394) Helen Overell. Published by Saint Albert's Press, Faversham, Kent.

In this collection of poems Helen Overell shares intimate reflections on the world and on her own life story. Though sometimes a story of sadness and burden, it is nevertheless told with expressions of beauty, wit, and hope with which many will resonate. Her poetry reveals - in the best tradition of the Carmelite Order - an appreciation of the domestic and the natural that leads to a perception of something divine.

This first collection of fifty poems shows the journey of an engineer with a factually trained mind as he ventures into the world of emotion, fantasy, rhythm and humour. There is much to move, to delight and amuse the reader from small gems to descriptive journeys, from strange views of the natural world to oblique angles on environmental issues. Even the poems that are clearly about death, such as the title poem, are written in an amusing or entertaining voice.
