Finding the Point Yet Again

Finding the Point Yet Again – by Karen Little. "Karen Little exemplifies the word creative. A talented painter, sculptor, dancer, novelist and poet, she shifts effortlessly between disciplines with enviable dexterity. 'Finding the Point Yet Again' is her latest collection of poetry, an intricate memoir of childhood loss, grappling with being different, love and motherhood, illness and art. All are documented with unflinching honesty, devoid of self-pity and using a clarity of expression which is extraordinary. The sparsely worded 'I had one mother…' is a masterclass in how to evoke a whole world of emotions using the simplest of language. In 'Finding the Point Yet Again' Karen documents her struggles and strategies navigating a world which finds her an enigma, a free spirit, too wild to label. Using her singular gift for expressing herself, she bravely invites her readers to explore with her or, at the very least, tag along for a fascinating ride. A no holds barred approach to her own psyche and that of others, often humorous, occasionally sad, always unique. This is a book about being alive on your own terms, fiercely independent within your own, sometimes scratchy, skin, which captures the complexities of the human condition and lays them down without fear or favour. 'I’m often sad. But life bled back in spite of me.' And what a life." Lesley Quayle, Poet, editor and folk/blues singer
