Essence of Life by Kez Wickham St George Essence of Life is a beautifully crafted collection of poetry, reflections, and life-affirming insights from internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning author Kez Wickham St George. With her signature blend of wisdom, wonder, and emotional depth, Kez invites readers into a world where everyday moments become profound, and the human spirit takes centre stage. Written during her travels through Ireland, Spain, the Pyrenees, and Singapore, this collection captures the heart of her journey-an exploration of memory, resilience, friendship, nature, love, loss, and the quiet magic found in the world around us. Through vivid imagery and lyrical storytelling, she reminds us that life speaks in colours, whispers, stories, and symbols-if we only pause long enough to listen. Each poem is paired with a thought-provoking quote, creating a meditative rhythm throughout the book. From the raucous dance of galahs at dawn to intimate reflections on motherhood, from the whimsy of "Wonky Wiring" to the tenderness of "Last Kiss," Kez brings her readers into moments that heal, soothe, and inspire. Essence of Life is not just a poetry book-it is a companion for anyone seeking comfort, clarity, or connection. A celebration of womanhood, humanity, and storytelling, it is a reminder that we are all, as Kez says, "unique walking stories just waiting to be told." Whether you read it cover to cover or savour it one page at a time, this collection will leave you uplifted, reflective, and deeply moved.Perfect for lovers of poetry, reflective writing, and soulful storytelling.
