Ashes to the breeze

Mark De'Lisser's striking debut poetry collection,Ashes to the breeze, heralds the arrival of an extraordinary new talent. The poems are an evocative reminder of what it is to be human, to love, to lose, to grow, to find courage, to overcome hurt and pain, and to recognise the fragility of existence. The collection is an exquisite tribute to human nature's powers of renewal. It is a heartfelt exploration of the transformational powers of acceptance and letting go. Speaking to both the personal and the universal, the poems take us on a healing journey that often delves into the synergies between human emotions and the natural world as a way of reflecting on our innate need for genuine connection and love.


In the relentless pace of our modern world, Ashes to the breeze asks us to pause and contemplate the mysteries and miracles that are present all around us, and to reimagine our place in the story of life.
