Poetry Secrets of the Pharaohs

Love, loss, passion, anxiety, longing, surrender. All words to describe the contents, but not the emotion you feel in the reading. You'll want to shake her, and cuddle her close, explore galaxies with her, and steal kisses. Sit on her shoulder and peak into what's made her who she is. Will she be your Beloved, or will she hold you at arm's length? She might even pull you under. "e;Jess Isted strings up hearts as bunting and dances on the page, appreciating love for its lessons even through loss and allowing longing to linger. What's more, each title is a poem before the poem. This beautiful collection masters reminisces, cherishes endings and makes way for self discovery."e;Jemima Hughes"e;Having seen Jessica perform her poetry live multiple times, I'm elated that this written collection now exists. Jessica has a remarkable way with words. Whilst some of her poems will raise a smile, others have the ability to conjure deep self-reflection about life, love and relationships. She is my favourite poet on the local scene and I'd recommend her work to anyone."e;Matt Carson
