Songs to the City

What a pleasure to read poetry that is sometimes lovely and deep and other times very funny. We talk so much about crowded streets and sidewalks filled with too many people and long for the quiet of country walks, but Clare Morris finds delight in the many facets of city life. Our lives would be rich if we could experience life in transit as she does.

A Real Travel Companion

If you have ever travelled on the bus in San Francisco (or,probably, any major city) and walked the streets with an open heart and mind, then this book will resonate with remembered moments. Clare`s poems are poignant, sometimes quirky and humourous, always insight-full. Her subtle nuances and ability to intuit and share add depth to unexpected exchanges, observations and potentially challenging situations. Above all, this collection hums with humanity and becomes a mirror, also, for ourselves and our relation to our fellow life-passengers. Clare`s love for her city is evident and, to encourage us all to enter into journeys of discovery she offers, at the end of her book, a series of quests and questions to accompany our travels. You don`t have to live in San Francisco to love this book. It translates into the human condition everywhere. So - join me In Transit - and say YES to poetry and the kaleidoscope that is Life.
