Claire-Louise’s fourth book of poems invites you to pause with her over a cup of tea or coffee to reflect on everyday moments of magic. We often overlook them because they are invisible and fleeting.

Pausing with a Poem seeks to capture a few that Claire-Louise has experienced, encouraging you to stop and ponder. A pause in our hectic lives to remember that existence is not always defined by visibility, nor significance by permanence.

A profound insight, a philosophical musing, a political vibe, a natural phenomenon, a spiritual presence, a flash of mystery, divine timing – all are described in this collection.

With Pausing with a Poem, take a second to reflect on your experiences of those moments of magic which add depth and joy to our daily lives.
