Her latest book, My Heart is full of Emeralds is a most welcome addition to her last poetry collection, Strange Bedfellows. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI found her new book to be as fulfilling as a good novel, though many of the poems (and prose pieces) reflect her own life experiences, and her keen observation of those around her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll 17 chapters are rich in imagery, sometimes vivid, sometimes subtle as a watercolour. I was dazzled at times by her palette of words. I didn't merely READ her poems. I admired them as one admires a collection of paintings, taking in the use of colour, balance and the diversity of topics, from Memoirs of a Mermaid to Coffee Shop Musings and her ever-present Love Affair with Words. The book title is taken from an ode to her grandmother. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcFairy (pen name of South African writer, Clare van der Gaast) has a passion for language, including for French, and paints with words. Images float easily from her lines, be they profoundly moving or light-hearted. An enchanting book to read - and to re-read. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJames Clarke, author and literary critic","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47888467165335,"sku":"9798301610950","price":1174.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798301610950.webp?v=1781166157","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/my-heart-is-full-of-emeralds-9798301610950","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
