Now We Are Four

We have a little tablefor your photo, a candlesome objects you lately touched.But the whole house has become a shrine... 'Now We Are Four' is a collection of poems about intimacy, solitude and family. It charts the journey into relationship, then the daily life of a small family: mum, dad, three children (Lara, Maya, Daniel) and one black dog. The expectation was to create a set of poems that covered the ordinary luminosity of family life. But one day, at three-and-a-half years of age, Maya suddenly died.
