Hello, and thank you for picking up my book. My name is Priscilla Olivia Samantha Hastings the 3rd.My family tree is deep-rooted and some have gone as far as to call me "beautiful" or "gorgeous" - and who am I to disagree. In order to be fair, however, I would admit that there are others, though rather common and small in number, who have said that I am rather "posh". Living in the kind of luxury I do, and with such willing helpers, you would be forgiven for thinking that my life was devoid of stress or excitement. But nothing could be further from the truth! Why just the other day I had an amazing adventure and I'd like to tell you all about it...

Gateways are things that you pass through, they are linkages between one physical or mental place and another. I believe that Poetry is a gateway to the soul and within these covers I explore this concept and hope that at least through some of these poems I manage to make a connection with you, my unknown and unseen reader, conjuring up instances of common experiences or differing views.

Voyager is based on a cruise we took from Santiago to Buenos Aires via Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn. Like any journey it doesn't always go to plan, has it's up and downs and unexpected turns. As we travelled, the continuing effects of Climate Change could not be ignored and neither could our own contribution. It was a trip redolent of school day stories of exploration, discovery and shipwrecks, all associated with this Southernmost marine seaway, the most southerly continental point before Antarctica.

The poems in this collection are in reflection of God's creations. Flowers, trees, butterflies, mammals and birds mingled with personal experiences about life and observances of daily experience that often we all have. There is no individual commentary on each poem as it is hoped that each piece will speak for itself. It is the poet's dear wish that this collection will please and remind the reader that God in His infinite wisdom has created all these things for us to treasure and enjoy, and that to Him only should any and all praise be given.
