Poetry
Changing the Way I Am
By Mel Clifford
Poems about change, perspective and the experiences that shape us — and the quiet courage it takes to become someone a little different.
About the book
What it’s about.
Change is the thread running through all of Mel’s work, and Changing the Way I Am is where it becomes most personal.
These poems reflect on life experience, on perspective, and on the moments when we realise that the person who most needs to change might be… ourselves.
Honest, reflective and often warm-hearted, it’s the poetic companion to the idea at the centre of everything Mel writes: change is in your hands.

In Mel’s words
“The past has happened. We can’t rewrite it. But we can decide what we do next.”
