About the book

Have you ever found a lost love you never knew you had?

Beyond All Knowing explores what it is like to be surprised by love.

A chance encounter provides a new opportunity for the author to really see
and be seen, to be heard and understood. These poems are about everyday observations that help teach what it is to experience loss and grief, endure longing and uncertainty, face the challenge of self-discovery and acceptance, and enjoy the deep satisfaction of finding home and genuine connection.

In Beyond All Knowing we experience love’s transformative power: to make the ordinary extraordinary by collapsing space, time and distance into shining moments of quiet joy.
