A tapestry of memory, humour and lyrical introspection, On the Advice of Donna or A Dream explores identity, time, and everyday peculiarities. With sharp wit, Sally Barrett’s poetry intertwines nostalgic recollections and raw reflections on aging, loss and resilience. We are invited into a paradox, where laughter and melancholia co-exist. 

Sally Barrett has worked in health and social care for over twenty five years. Her life experiences are weaved into this collection as she navigates her own personal life with love, marriage, family, friends and change.
