Synopsis

Birth, Death & InBetween came to Ms Corwin as a title when friends began to die. Her generation was ‘starting to go’. “A collection comes about at a turning point; one is grieved, one wonders at the disappearance, the invisibility, the untimeliness, what was before, what may come after. No longer a matter of death and dying, but of birth, death and the in between. The speechlessness turns into a need to speak. You don’t put together a collection of poetry overnight. There is no arbitrary subject. There are threads. A collection is a matter of emphasis, accentuation and priority. One’s generation begins to go; the whole of the sidewalk full of people coming at you will be gone in a hundred years, not a person coming at you left. If that is not a source of wonderment, what is?” Birth, Death & InBetween is a collection of 300 some odd poems written over a period of 40 years observing, examining, questioning, accepting the plain facts and the elusive nuances.
