A Counting of Love: Poems

A Counting of Love is a book about love in all its facets-harsh, as well as beautiful.

'Love has a way of finding you in the long grass when you are not looking for her-not searching for anything other than yourself. That's when love walks in on soft feet, taps you on the shoulder, sits down with you and whispers your name. Isn't this a beautiful mystery-how love is an anchor, a compass, a map and a home.'

Liezel Graham's distinct voice continues in her second collection of poems in which she explores themes such as motherhood, autism, relationships, grief, loss, spirituality, and nature, with her trademark honesty and willingness to be vulnerable on the written page.

She writes with her trademark honesty, leaving the reader with a sense of the beauty that might be found at the heart of any human struggle.

Born in South Africa, she makes her home in Scotland. Her body of work explores personal and interpersonal healing through the natural world and the use of stories. She holds a degree in Nursing Science, Psychiatric Nursing, and Midwifery.
