Words 1990–1993 by V.C.

Personal poems explore hurt, trust and resilience

Excellent condition. 

Words 1990–1993 is a compact collection of personal verse presented in a simple binding with textured, fibre-flecked pages. The poems, signed with the initials V.C. and individual dates, reflect on emotional hurt, disappointment and the difficult effort to understand other people. Direct language and short lines give the writing an intimate, searching quality, moving between vulnerability, anger and the wish to recover a sense of truth. In pieces such as Hurt, inner experience takes centre stage, with feeling expressed plainly rather than concealed behind elaborate language. The restrained presentation keeps attention on the words themselves, offering readers a small, contemplative collection concerned with the pressures and uncertainties of human connection.
