Reseña del libro "Shore Pine Bonsai: And Other Poems of My Journey (en Inglés)"
You are always there in your loving, Restless awareness, so very present And intense in your longings. Like the marsh bird cooing in the dark, Always probing to know more Of life, of love, of me. Decades ago, Rea Anne Scovill transformed the anger, fear, and grief related to childhood experiences into positive life's work. Now in her debut collection of poetry, she unveils a lifetime of epiphanies, beginning with a poem penned when she was just fourteen and ending with one created six decades later. Scovill's poetry utilizes trees to express human traits and nature-infused stories to describe human experiences. In sometimes haunting verse that invites contemplation, she illustrates a rainbow of emotions including anxiety, frustration, intimacy fears, loneliness, and trauma. Within her more playful poems, she also celebrates the freedom to love, laugh, and rejoice. Softly woven throughout the collection is her sense of reverence for the overwhelming beauty God has spun to cushion what can sometimes be a rough human journey. Shore Pine Bonsai shares thirty-eight poems that utilize the imagery of nature to reflect on intimacy, grief, self-realization, and joy.
