Introduction by Mary-Anne Vale

Introducing:
Marcelle Pollington B.A., Grad.Dip.R.E. Anglican. Dip.Counsel.

As a poet, Marcelle explores the gamut of human experiences and emotions. She grapples with the human condition and the common struggle we all share, to come to terms with weighty concepts such as the realisation of our mortality; the value of friends (animal and human); the importance of family, and the impact of history and memories on our emotions. She is also able to take a particular sight or scene and describe it with such poetic resonance that it almost becomes our own. Her poetry narrates, describes and records a lifetime of memories. A well-defined sense of humour emerges from her poetry and reveals her to be an insightful and intellectual creator of colourful and apposite imagery.

Please enjoy Marcelle’s passion for life and her maker; her appreciation of the value of experience; and her boundless love for the beauty found in nature and the simple things in life …
