A Page in Time gathers the poems of Dr Rosemary Khoo, whose ebullient, yet
perceptive voice transforms ordinary moments into lasting reflections on
life, love, ageing, heritage and faith. With strikingly uncommon grace, wit
and emotional clarity, Rosemary finds poetry in the everyday – in a
remembered gathering, the passage of time, or the silence left by a beloved
companion. Her poems celebrate life, embrace love, and honour the strength of
women – with affection, compassion and gentle humour. Scholar, educator,
linguist and community leader, Rosemary wore her accomplishments lightly.
What remains most vividly in these pages is not the record of a distinguished
life, but the generosity of a spirit in the ordinary. Rich in memory yet
timeless in words, A PAGE IN TIME is an invitation to pause, to remember, and
to discover the tapestry of one’s life in the page of time.
