Reviews
Reviewed by Erin Nicole Cochran for Readers' Favorite Labour of Love by Liz Ragout is a collection of poems that encapsulates her zest for life as well as her home and memories that stir within her. The narration that proceeds throughout the entire book is one that feels close to the heart. As a reader, you begin to sense your own connection to the places she describes so well. She paints her poems in such pictures that you can feel and smell the grass under your own fingers. Two of my favorite lines are on page 20 within the poem Little One's Dreams: Where the sandman will catch/them in his gossamer threads. There's a beautiful, ethereal quality that each poem possesses, that brings you in deeper with every page that's read. Liz Ragout's Labour of Love made me yearn for travel and days of summer. Though not all of the poems were solely centered on nature, some ranged from unique narratives, that I won't give away, to memories that were of warm heartache. Not completely sad, but full of appreciation for the time had and the time that will come again. Throughout the book, there are also images and illustrations of flowers and hillsides that bring an extra smile after the end of a poem. Liz Ragout's Labour of Love is a treasure that resides in an Irish girl's heart that she has decided to share with the rest of the world. It's a gem that everyone should see and get to feel. It is one for the ages.
Author Information
Liz Ragoút is now retired after a long career in the caring sector. Irish by birth, Liz emigrated to London, England early in life and has established a home and family in the suburbs of that great city. She is a lifetime lover of literature; however, Liz is a late-comer to writing. Due to childhood meningitis she has always been hard of hearing. Liz credits this hidden disability to her having developed a deep sense of observation because of her need to be aware of people when in conversation. This talent has served her well with her writings.
