Rosemary Anne Sisson has been writing poetry for as long as she can remember. When she was putting together this collection of poetry and prose to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of a writing career which includes plays, novels, films and such television series as 'Upstairs, Downstairs', 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII' and 'The Young Indiana Jones', she realized that her poems were a reflection of the events and emotions of her life and work. She had a wonderfully happy family childhood in an era which with its freedom and innocence has gone for ever. This idyll was interrupted by the Second World War which irrevocably changed the lives and hopes of a whole generation, including her own. Wordsworth described poetry as "emotions recollected in tranquillity". As a playwright, Rosemary Anne Sisson sees it more as a shaft of feeling described by the poet in a moment of emotion and subsequently shared by the reader, just as an audience feels for the characters in a play. Moreover, rather unfashionably, she believes that to be memorable a poem should rhyme or scan - and preferably both.
