MY BEST POEMS Part 1 Celebrating NATURE

Written in the author’s particular prose style, which draws inspiration from Basho's minimalist (Zen) style and T.S. Eliot's freedom of poetic expression. It covers a lifetime of author’s poetry writing. Poems include reflections on the beauty of nature, through experienced encounters. Having grown up in the Italian part of Switzerland, in a remote village with busy publican grandparents, she learnt early to explore and delight in the countryside around her. Later, Australian nature became an acquired pleasure to her, once she let go of what had been familiar hitherto. A guest author, Ron T. Horan, a life-long lover of the Australian bush, who spent many happy hours exploring and camping in remote areas, fishing and at night, dreaming under the Southern Cross and near a cosy campfire, was invited to share some of his poetry about nature in Pia's book. It comes with Koraljka's delightful artistic contribution, in both coloured and black and white paintings. A perfect companion for quiet meditation, reflection and getting a taste of the Australian nature experience. Lovely as a gift.
