Maureen Brumby was born in Birmingham, England in 1965. She began writing poetry in 1981 with her first piece 'Smoky Zones'. She was employed as a secretary until 1992 when she married her husband Neil, their only daughter, Susannah being born later that year. This Loss was conceived during a heartbreaking year of separation from the writer's husband in 1995. Maureen continued to write and evolve as a woman and a poet through personal illness, recovery and remarkable transformation. Additionally today, she enjoys a career as an Integrative Counsellor. This breathtaking first collection of exquisite conversational poetry is presented alongside magical imagery and it is written in a style and tone that is stunningly unique. Maureen's first poem in this debut collection, entitled 'This Loss', was written following the death of her mother to cancer in 2005. The event catapulted Maureen into her lifetime ambition; to write and to be read. This Loss has sharing, bittersweet sorrow and humbling fulfilment. It is the poet's own repertoire of transitory feelings and uttermost devotion to loved ones and to the poetic sharing of a life lived with extraordinary resilience. For young and old, these words are contemplative and moving. They are something heavenly of our times and something precious to own forever ....
