DON’T LOOK DOWN

ABOUT THE BOOK

‘DON’T LOOK DOWN’ is an updated version of Nicky Corcoran’s book SHINE A LIGHT.

This inspirational book of nineteen poems talks about life-experiences, some of which are personal to the Author herself, from growing up in the 1960’s right through to recent times. The Author covers many a subject such as hormonal changes, bullying and hate-crimes, sexual orientation, sexism, child abuse, mental health, religion.and relevant issues in the world.

The Author also talks about love, compassion, happiness, education, holidays and coming together to care and share our problems, and to keep optimism in your heart and soul.

One thing that is clear is that the Author gives her encouragement and can relate herself and her own life experiences to those of her readers. She understands that sometimes life can be cruel and unpredictable, and the pressures can become overwhelming at times (just like a rollercoaster ride – one minute up, the next minute down).

The Author wants us to develop a certain mindset to prepare ourselves for the challenges that life can throw our way, to come together, join hands and learn from our mistakes, reflect and improve our lives and for future generations. Together we can stamp out greed, selfishness and hate!!

The poems in this book will leave you , the reader with mixed emotions. Some may make you laugh, some may make you sad and may bring a tear to your eye!

ALWAYS REMEMBER, NEVER GIVE UP HOPE, DON’T LOOK DOWN!!
