Living with joy

Living with Joy forms a trilogy with Walking with Angels and Dancing with Love. The three poetry collections, all of which can be read independently of the others, describe Claire-Louise's journey through widowhood, at first surviving, then learning how to thrive, and finally finding contentment. Readers often say they find poems in Claire-Louise's books which truly resonate with them. Her light hearted, accessible yet profound poems touch their minds and hearts. Drawing on her observations and experiences of life and the natural world, this third poetry collection describes the continuation of Claire-Louise's journey. It focuses on how she learned to find joy in moments of challenge, of calm, or of serendipity, moments we can all relate to as we go about our daily lives. Reader reviews for previous books: "Simplicity and the power of Claire's words spring at you from every page. Masterfully understated and all the more engaging because if it." "A gorgeous variety of poems that touched my heart."  "A recommended read for anyone who is following, or has followed, a similar journey. This brief set of poems will bring tears to your eyes, smiles and support for whatever the future brings."
