The Aquarium is a collection of poetry documenting the lives of an aristocratic British couple in the middle of the 20th Century. Told in two parts, we first meet Charles; aged, crippled and left alone in his crumbling stately home – reflecting on his life and his marriage to beautiful Alice, who we meet in part two. The Aquarium moves through the decades, across this life and the next. Interweaving themes of grief, loss, after-life, mental illness, duty, and the true nature of love.
