Walking with Angels

Claire's poems are brilliant. They are deeply personal, but they also inspired and encouraged me. Claire captures moods so successfully using few words. I love the way she focuses on the positive, making me smile and cry at the same time. My favourites are Walking with Angels, The Cruise and The Olympian.

This collection is a joy - a glimpse of a life that is personal and poignant - but happy and wry too. Price says her aim is to inspire and uplift but equally the poems bring a smile and a tear. They capture a gamut of experience - as a mother, wife and widow - times that are joyous and times that are sad, as Price lives through the illness of her husband. They span the pedestrian and humdrum to the spiritual: from the author's humorous observations on dreams of being a ballet dancer to her moving account of her husband's death. The Torch, the Kingfisher, Walking with Angels…all these will, as Price says, be an imprint "painted indelibly on the memory." Poems of life, for life.

A recommended read for anyone who is following, or has followed, a similar journey. This brief set of poems will bring tears to your eyes, smiles and support for whatever the future brings. Well done Claire - Louise. I look forward to the next set.

This collection of poems encompasses the emotions, hopes and fears of someone dealing with the terminal prognosis and death of a loved one. There is enormous sadness but many of the poems are uplifting and beautiful. I particularly liked the Kingfisher and Walking with Angels. The poems are brave, uplifting and inspiring.

Claire's strength and positivity shines through in her poems; she is an object lesson to us all to appreciate and make the most of the precious time we have.
