In Giraffe under a Grey Sky, Danielle introduces new character – Mrs Uomo – who muddles through modern urban society – dealing with health care bureaucracy and the Hadron Collider, then finds herself corrupted by a game of monopoly. There are new poems delving social, imaginative, natural and personal worlds – in turns serious and comic - including the workings of the heart, a world ruled by buttercups, grief, and a sequence on the Potter’s Bar rail crash.
Her
latest book Mrs Uomo's Yearbook being lauched over coming months and is highlighted by the Poetry Book Society. It explores diverse modern and ancient worlds in
life, the mind, coasts, trees and month by month by Mrs Uomo in her
Yearbook, as she waits for a hospital operation, reads her dictionary or teaches her
cat from the home course in economics.
Several of her poems have been set to music, most recently the title poem of City Fox with music by James Harris and recently launched on Amazon.
