   Poetry Exploring Human Nature, Suffering, and Challenges


“Time, you thief, who love to get sweets into your list,
put that in!” – Leigh Hunt

May 1, 2017

Denise Gurran, lovingly known as Diz to poet friends and readers throughout two decades of online sharing and mutual encouragement, had her beautiful life cut short by that dreadful disease that takes so many in their prime. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her as friend, teacher, colleague, cousin, aunt, sister, daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother.

The links above will launch you on an inspirational exploration of verse that excels in imagery, depth, and heart.  Only Human is an updated presentation of the collection Diz created in the 1990s.  As an avid rhymer, she also leaves a gift in the poetic legacy assembled in 2015 at im.a.rhymer.
