Rain and Roses

Tender verses where rain meets roses, and the smallest moments hold lasting beauty. This collection moves through the intimate spaces of domestic life with a poet's eye for what others overlook: the particular quality of light through a window, the weight of unspoken affection, the way a garden holds memory. Henshall's language is delicate but never precious, finding genuine emotion in simple observations about nature and the rhythms of home. These are poems that reward slow reading, where a single image of rain on petals becomes a meditation on impermanence and grace. The collection carries the quiet authority of someone who has learned that attention itself is a form of love.
