Touching the Outer Edges Claire Possee

Touching the Outer Edges - Debut Collection This debut collection by poet Claire Possee explores an abundance of themes, ranging from the power of dreams to European travel, and the urgency of the climate crisis to the devastation of dementia. Here life is deconstructed; wherein personal and social anxieties are revealed. At the book's core is the warmth of humanity but also human failings and insecurities. What is at the centre of all things? Here lay answers but also an expanse of questions too. A balance in the discussion of complex feelings, experiences and realities. The book charts a course through the inner mind and the outer world. This journey takes the reader both to new places of exploration and to familiar stopping points, leaving shocks along the way.
