Our biggest tragedy
was that
our love,
no matter
how much
there was of it
could never
draw you out
from a fatal attraction
to the depths
of your ferocious hunger
for love itself.
Zelda Reville, Excerpt from ‘Back to Black: Tribute to Amy Winehouse,’ Darker Objects
“When I was approached by Christine for Darker Objects, I’d not been writing poetry for some time. While reading Winter’s Garden, and the drafts that came through during the editing, I was reminded again of Christine’s drive and passion in her poetry. I was also cheered by the will of the other contributors to continue fighting and to give a damn about something, despite life’s cruelty. I am touched, very proud and honoured to be included in Christine’s book. I hope that this book will inspire others to pick up their pen; to continue caring for something worthwhile inspite of. “
