The Book of Hours is a contemporary re-imagining of a Medieval book of hours. These were collections of exquisitely hand-illustrated images and religious texts which followed a yearly calendar. They were created in a handy size so they could be carried by the owner and read on a daily basis. They can also be seen as interactive texts as these books were not intended to be read chronologically. This Book of Hours is secular but the general mood is contemplative and reflective and has been created in a poetry film form. This book contains the poetry from the poetry film project plus some extra poems.

Dream Time explores the delicate intersection between the conscious and unconscious realms. Drawing inspiration from dreams, and storytelling, the collection delves into themes of memory, identity, and transformation and takes us through the unreal land of the lockdown experience, how this still resonates today and the confusions caused new technology. Dream Time is an invitation to journey beyond the waking world into a place where time is fluid, and reality bends.
