Description

Powerful and moving poems, at once tender and unflinching.
A poetic tribute to and record of the last year of Diana's best friend.

Diana Deans met her best friend at boarding school at the age of 12. As their work and family commitments reduced decades later, they anticipated spending more time together, enjoying the good life. But fate had other ideas. In an effort to capture the good times and keep some perspective, Diana kept a diary, from which these poems were written.
