Cele 93 de poezii traduse în antologia de față, extrase din Over Land, Over Sea: Poems for those seeking refuge (Five Leaves Publications, 2015), oferă o serie de reacții, de la tristețe la speranță, de la satiră la furie.

Kathleen Bell's poetry holds a mirror up to our times and urges us to examine hypocrisy, hearsay and fear in the shadow of Covid. Maria Taylor

Katy discovers a strange object whilst digging in the garden, which allows her to travel through portals, to other worlds and dimensions, and even through time.On her travels, she meets a boy called Lee, who quickly gains her trust, (and her heart,) and helps her out of some sticky situations.However, keeping their secret from friends and family, and the most popular girl in school, Judy, (whose sole ambition seems to be making Katy's life miserable,) might not be so easy.Lee also has some other gadgets, which come in very useful, when the device falls into the wrong hands and friends and family start disappearing.

Life for Katy was dull, dull, dull. Nothing exciting ever seemed to happen to her. Little did she know that things were about to change, and her life was about to become more exciting than she could ever have imagined. After discovering a strange object whilst digging in the garden, Katy finds herself able to travel to other worlds and dimensions, and even through time, but disaster seems to follow her everywhere she goes and she often finds herself in some dangerous situations. Along the way, she befriends a fellow traveller, a boy called Lee, who quickly gains her trust, (and her heart) and helps her out of some sticky situations. However, keeping their secret from friends and family and the most popular girl in school, Judy, (whose sole ambition seems to be making Katy's life miserable,) might not be so easy.
