The Poetry and Thoughts of Jane Caroll

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jane Caroll was brought up during the fifties in Cambridgeshire. After raising a family of her own she worked for many years with abused and deprived children. These traumatic revelations and her own tumultuous life experiences deepened Jane’s natural gift for word wizardry and made her one of the world’s sensitive and poignant poetry creators.

Jane’s poems are truly inspirational and reflect the struggles and fears of one woman’s journey through the trials and anxieties of modern life. A few seem to probe disturbingly the dark depths of the subconscious.

 


Some of the poems are charming and delightful, but many have an edge of desolation and readers often find themselves disturbed by the evocation of real pain and despair. All, however, have their own story and meaning and are based upon real events and people, for instance even the seat portrayed in “Just a Seat (page 5) exists in Jane’s garden in Northern England and overlooks the Pennine hills. It holds many secrets and memories of special and ordinary moments, and is evocative of simple and beautiful pleasures.

Although Jane’s poetry is featured in other publications and frequently appears in anthologies, this is the first volume devoted exclusively to her work.

The collection of poems was only brought together as a result of Jane’s husband   chancing upon a pile of notebooks and scribbled papers while clearing through a drawer in the bureau. The papers weren't particularly organized and some needed deciphering as a result of faded pencil and smudged biro. Others needed titles and grammatical adjustments, but as he had recently acquired a word processor this seemed a good project to learn how the thing worked. Many months later all the inspired scribbles have become this wonderful book.
