Thy Will Be Done is a lesson Hannah had to learn after her mothers death in September, 1969. She couldnt accept her mothers death and lost her faith in God. I know I had a struggle with God, but he wouldnt let me go. I had to learn that as I was praying, I was saying to God to Let Thy Will Be Done but what I really wanted was for my will to be done. My prayers were answered but the answer was no. This was something I had to learn and my struggle with God taught me a lesson that I will never forget. As Hannah learned to accept Gods will so evolved her talent for writing poetry and so was created Emotions in Poetry.

'Many poets make us smile; how many poets make us laugh - or, in that curious phrase, "laugh out loud" (as if there's another way of doing it)? Who else uses an essentially conversational idiom to achieve such a variety of emotional effects? Who else takes us, and takes us so often, from sunlit levity to mellifluous gloom?... Larkin, often, is more than memorable: he is instantly unforgettable.' - Martin Amis
