Starfield - poems for people looking for meaning in life This is the fourth book of poetry by Carolyn McCartney and one which muses on the experiences and questions affecting all of us, as we pass through this vale. The title reflects the recurring themes throughout the book. The idea of the field as an organising force, a territory that includes both the unknown and relentlessly familiar, is woven throughout many of the poems, whilst stars figure highly as both a physical and metaphorical light in the darkness of being. In the end, as Bill Hicks, the great American comedian, observed when pondering the means by of existence, 'It's just a ride...' Enjoy the journey within the covers of Starfield
