Summer 24: Concluding the collection with more recent musings on life, death and empathy, featuring poems like "Who We Love" and "The Promised Land."


Themes:

Deborah Maxim's political poetry does not shy away from the tough questions and darker themes. She is a passionate avocate for Justice for Palestine and her work on the ongoing humanitarian crisis is particularly striking, delivering what many have called 'powerful' verses that challenge the complicity of silence. Her more personal verses are just as direct; throughout this collection, readers will find an honest and open exploration of human emotion, human foibles and human failings.


Style and Voice:

Maxim's style is both accessible and profound, avoiding intellectual abstraction in favor of relatable, heartfelt expression. Her voice is at once personal and universal, capturing moments of profound clarity and deep introspection.


Audience:

This collection is perfect for poetry lovers and those new to the genre alike. It is especially poignant for readers interested in contemporary issues, personal narratives, and the emotional landscapes that define our human experience. It has been described by readers as 'poetry for refuseniks' and 'poetry that speaks to us all'.
