Masquerade Love, Loss and all the Dross

Masquerade Love, Loss and all the Dross, a follow up to Gloria Bradleys debut poetry collection Shadowlands Mind, Mood and Memory is an expression of love and loss, of angst and ecstasy, experienced in the daily dramas that colour our emotional lives; of hopes and dreams submerged beneath a veil of armour, a mask we use to obscure our inner truths, fears and insecurities. Throughout this anthology, hopefully the reader will recognise and connect with the writers sentiments and observations. The rhymes interspersed between the more sombre subjects are meant to amuse, as a gentle reminder that were simply human in a world of fear and chaos, but one where love survives dancing in the masquerade.
