Please join me in congratulating Desmond Childs on the launch of her latest poetry collection The Vagaries of the Heart published by The Hedgehog Poetry Press

The Vagaries of the Heart is the debut collection from Desmond Childs and beautifully explores Love with gentle musicality in word and cadence, exploring shade and fracture in relationship in all of its petal-scented form.
This is a delightful collection and one that you will treasure from a poet who be-guides as well as beguiles.
