Flowers in a Jar cover

‘Flowers in a Jar’ is Sheila Hopkins’ third published collection of poetry. Her poems are inspired by the people she meets, the places she finds herself in, life experiences, the Bible, and her unique reflections on life. This volume is in three sections and picks up some themes from her previous volumes.

In ’Postcards and People’, she further explores her experiences at home and away. Seen through her eyes, the poems are often written with humour and insight. The second section, ‘Paraphernalia’ picks up on a random collection of things that have inspired, puzzled or amused the poet. In the final section, ‘A Pile of Old Newspapers’, the poet examines the beginnings of history. Those items of news which seemed so important a few days or weeks ago, have, perhaps, faded from our attention, but may still have considerable significance. Poems in this section include some written about Covid, the change of Prime Minister, the change of the Monarch, and how a football match passed with no comment.

These things matter.

A delightful and engaging collection of poems for amusement, inspiration and reflection.
