Integrating modern life and everyday social situations: education, relationships and even knife crime, with nature: trees, bees and rain, this collection of modern poems roll easily off the tongue. The poems ask as many questions as they answer. Written in a current, narrative style, the poems are often about battles between the narrator and others, or even battles with herself. There are lots of opinions on how someone should act, or react, and the narrator seems to put pressure on herself with her high self - expectations. Respect is a strong theme throughout.
