Have you ever wondered what Edith Piaf might sing after a disappointing birdwatching expedition? Or what kind of poetry John Donne would write if seeking to impress Nigella Lawson? Or what a Wimbledon umpire might announce if they had more to worry about than champagne corks being popped on set point?
Wonder no more. The answers to these and other questions are to be found in 'Seconds, Precious Seconds'.. In addition, there are poems about the experience of cancer, the impact of neurodivergence and many other aspects of modern life.
If there is a central theme, it is the passage of time. The 'seconds' in this collection are not only second chances or second courses but the precious seconds available to us all as we aim to age successfully.
