Description
Beside a Stranger is Christabel Lancing's debut poetry collection, inspired by her family cottage in South Devon. The poems reflect on love and loss, pain and longing, exploring the complexities of isolation and connection.
The poem Beside a Stranger was written in response to the 9/11 tragedy and its anniversaries, capturing the emotions of those who died alongside people they'd never met. This powerful poem is a spirit-driven memory that mirrors events and narrates parallel themes of love for someone you've never met.
The collection takes readers on an emotional journey, with each poem building upon the next to create a tumultuous yet restorative narrative. With its emotive and sometimes metaphorical insights into human feelings and reactions, Beside a Stranger is a deeply resonant read that will touch your heart.
