Poetry Collections
A collection of poetry with a strong religious element, focussed in particular on a series of reflections on a visit to the Holy Land.
Alice Taylor's poems have proved perennially popular. Some have been woven into her phenomenally successful memoirs, and she has published three previous books of poetry. Organized thematically, this substantial collection includes sections entitled "The Home Place"", "A Village Romance", "Grief and Grace", and "Winter Ploughing."
Alice Taylor's writing is celebrated for its healing qualities, and her books of memoirs have been used in counselling and assisting older people with psychiatric difficulties. Two of her recent books, the novel House of Memories (2005), and the memoir, The Parish (2008), have been praised for their treatment of death and grieving. Now in The Grief Road she explores the grieving experience in a short book addressed specifically to those trying to cope with bereavement.
