At times metaphysical, \u003cbr\u003e quirky, and emotionally raw, the poetry in this collection is an\u003cbr\u003e exploration of what it means to be human and the moments that\u003cbr\u003e can transcend the ordinary.\u003cbr\u003e \"The themes are familiar - love lost and found, life's ups and downs, beginnings\u003cbr\u003e and endings. But no rose is ever identical. Bloom's poetic gift lies in her ability\u003cbr\u003e to evoke what's familiar and shared by way of tiny, almost imperceptible gestures\u003cbr\u003e and the powerful, sometimes painful, intimacies of everyday life. Her work\u003cbr\u003e evokes the layers and textures of Mary Oliver and Joni Mitchell. Its color is, \u003cbr\u003e finally, a defiant and joyous yellow, its music the first sounds of spring.\"\u003cbr\u003e - George Gonzalez, Assistant Professor of\u003cbr\u003e Philosophy, Religion and Interdisicplinary Studies, Monmouth University\u003cbr\u003e \"Bloom has a way of bringing beauty to the mundane, eliciting an intimacy with\u003cbr\u003e her readers through shared experience. Recognizing the sacred in the everyday, \u003cbr\u003e her poetry invites us to linger over what we might otherwise ignore. A sleeping\u003cbr\u003e child, a quiet house, a butterfly in flight... these are the moments she elevates to\u003cbr\u003e the remarkable. A must-read for those desiring to transform their relationship\u003cbr\u003e with the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e - Jennifer Hritz, Author, The Crossing and I, too, Have Suffered in the Garden\u003cbr\u003e Cover Art: Hector Kriete\u003cbr\u003e Photo: Diana Berrent Photography\u003cbr\u003e Experience more at Jennifer-Bloom.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353644712185,"sku":"9781504362320","price":10.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/uKm0IWvbiQ9781504362320_f7a00426-143f-431e-a163-429f249fea7c.webp?v=1769825547","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/brainstorms-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
