my dreams and themes

Andrea Wilkin, a distinguished retired couturier, ventures into the world of literature with a heartfelt collection of poetry. From fanciful verses about hippos, owls, and imaginative creatures to poignant poems on love, loss, and the changing seasons, Wilkin’s poems offer whimsy and wisdom in equal measure.
This anthology, inspired by personal experiences and a vivid imagination, invites readers on a journey through the joys, sorrows, and wonders of life, offering a reflection on the beauty of the world through poetic narratives.
From the powerful bond between sisters to the joys of motherhood, the wonderful and weird friends who keep you going to the ethereal beauty of winter, each poem, adorned with illustrations by Rachel Chaplin, becomes a window into the soulful contemplation of existence, love, and the enduring spirit of adventure.
