About this ebook
Tides of Fancy is a collection of forty-two poems which derides prevailing behavioural patterns which all, from the learned to the man on the street, are supposed to eschew. The content reflects humanity as a whole, and the poet discards the myth that poetry is not for the ordinary man! She draws from ordinary experiences and articulates her thoughts and vision in free verse, occasional structural inversion, visible rhythm, rhyme and concrete images. As a whole, Tides of Fancy (Poems) is a milestone prescription for a rethinking of attitudes and perceptions.
