About the Book

Clare Collins was born in Australia in 1951 to British born parents. The family returned to England in 1957. Clare was educated in Essex, England and began writing poetry at the age of fifteen. It seems to her that ever since she could read she has loved books and poetry and has lost herself in many a fairytale and poems of flight and fancy. She has also steeped herself in the poems of Wordsworth, Longfellow, Shelley, Burns and others, all poetry books from her Grandfather's book case as well as poets of more modern times such as Dylan Thomas, Maya Angelou, Ted Hughes and Wendy Cope. Many of her poems are also rooted in reality and experience as well as Clare's love of nature and the spirituality of nature as in the poem 'The Unseen Artist'. Scattered Fragments is a collection of poems written between 1967 and 1976 at a young age and reflects the youth of the writer and the times it was written in. Although born after world War II the remembrance of war is witnessed in the poem entitled 'Scattered Fragments' which is about World War I: and also the fear of nuclear war in the poem 'I wanted.' Some of the poems are highly personal being about love and a woman's situation. Others are or do contain imaginary situations such as the poem 'The Flowers of The Morning'. She has also imagined what is behind the closed eyes of Picasso's Seated Woman with Hat. Also being an artist Clare is intrigued by what may lie behind works of art and has written poems about several paintings. 'To Picasso's Seated Woman with Hat' is however the only poem of this nature to appear in this collection.
