Description

A Bouquet of Glass asks the question: What are you left with when the glass separating different worlds shatters Emerging from a mind with a propensity for the otherworldly and an unsuitability for the worldly, A Bouquet of Glass gathers the fragments of different realities into a vivid, piercing collection. From heightened altered states to spacious musings and playful concoctions, these poems are more than the writings of someone with a naturally psychoactive mind. They are disarmingly human notes of love and loss. At once elegy and wild romp, they invite different pieces of a life to exist together uneasily, gracefully, precariously. You may wish to curl up with this book on one side of the glass, but only once a whirling storm has rushed through, leaving your life in pieces.
