Quote
From Author Emily Isaacson ...
There was a vase of flowers
on the table,
the kind that grow wild in a field,
daisies with purple edges.
Butter dissolved into the beans,
while the family ate
roast beef,
before the truth could be arrested
dwindling
relationship dissipating
even the though the water was wine,
and their blood was war.
Emily’s collection contains short but beautifully written odes. It’s a book that you can finish in one sitting. I highly recommend it to readers who love literature and poetry in particular. This one’s a good homage to trees and it reminds us of the sacred bonds between trees and people. Overall, I’m giving it 5 out of 5 stars for the author’s complete manifestation of love and devotion to trees, and for bringing out the beauty and essence of each type.
