Tangerines: a poetic journey through grief

Tangerines: a poetic journey through grief is a deeply personal, yet profoundly universal collection (Amy Harris, acclaimed Manchester poet), which captures the fleeting moments that exist within the horrendous experience of losing a loved one. In the past two years, my understanding of grief went into overdrive. First, in 2023, I lost my brother. Then, in 2025, my dad. Both were unexpected and both tore me and my family to pieces. Through the darkness, the shining light has been to pick up a pen (or the laptop, my phone or any other means by which to write) and create poetry. This collection of poems and verse offers an insight into my journey with grief, from the desperately sad moments, to the more positive moments of hope and reflection. Just like no two tangerines are the same, neither are two paths walked through grief. I can only hope anybody who reads this finds connection, validation and reassurance.
