Dancing in the Dark

Present slowly comesEnfolding and unfoldingDawn and duskIn a circle never-endingRising and fallingEternally, so shall I goOnwards and seeingAuthor Shirley Siaton invites the reader to dance with her to the myriad rhythms of life, in the transcendental hours of darkness, in her compilation of poems, Dancing in the Dark.Featuring verses on tribulation, emergence and redemption, this poetry collection came into being after one too many jaunts and musings in the dead of night. Experience a distinctive, unfiltered view through the eyes of a woman raised and reared in the unforgiving cities of the Philippines, as she journeys through a world of greed, poverty, crime and despair with determination and hope.Scathed, imperfect and honest to the core, Dancing in the Dark is a celebration of a woman's infallible heart and the indomitable human spirit.
