Seasons change and life goes on while we grieve - "trees that will soon bear fruit, cast pink shadows" "dandelions feed many wishes" "crab apples fall all night, all day".

thoughts while walking with merlyn is Philippa Hatton-Lepine's debut collection, created from daydreams during a time of bereavement. Poems about loss are interspersed with day to day observations and memories as a year goes by.
