Dragonflies

Evolving and personal, dragonflies is a journey in poetry through life's transformations. Graham Powell unfolds memories and moments in time; uncovering all that is lost and gained, and how we each grow into and out of ourselves, recreating the world afresh with every step we take along the way.

They say that in the end we're reunited

With all we've lost - not love and circumstance

But umbrellas, tissues and socks

Or, in my case, that one photograph

Tucked inside the book wedged halfway down -

Or was it up - the bookshelf we once had

The lives of dragonflies pass largely unseen until they express themselves for the briefest of moments on the wing - and, having fulfilled their obligation to future generations, disappear.

Evolving and intimate, dragonflies is a personal journey through life's transformations. Graham Powell unfolds memories and moments in time; uncovering all that is lost and gained, and how we each grow into and out of ourselves, recreating the world afresh with every step we take along the way.

'Rudder sharp and banking

On veined wings that whirr as the sun catches .'
