Debi De Angelis writes out of a life richly experienced against a backdrop of places as varied as the Pacific island, where she was born and spent her early childhood; the vital dynamism of modern Hong Kong; an ancient urban centre in the countryside outside Rome and in the bustling heart of the City of London. The one constant in this incredibly rich experience of life has been her deeply felt human response, articulated in the medium of poetic writing. A special selection of her large body of work has now been 'corralled' in this, her first published collection.
