’Halfpace’, Elizabeth Miller’s new collection of poetry focuses on her childhood. This illustrated book offers readers an insight into her early life, along with the chance to reflect on their own childhood and the ways in which children and adults learn from each other. Every poem has its own vivid story to tell, highlighting many personal memories, while the collection as a whole explores universal themes such as loyalty, love, fear, freedom and loss. ’Halfpace’ provokes a surprising range of sentiments as it transports the reader through early, often bewildering, memories to the complex landscape of adolescence. There is much humour here, as well as raw emotion.
