While her first poetry collection, \u003cem\u003eCadence\u003c\/em\u003e, was more nature infused and inspired by the light, \u003cem\u003eBehind the Blue\u003c\/em\u003e is poetry and prose about moments and emotions born out of living within the varying shades of life's shadows. This collection begins in the darkness that often consumes us, and gradually moves towards the slivers of light that lift us out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author notes that, \"In many ways, while \u003cem\u003eCadence \u003c\/em\u003ewas a collection sharing my observations of the natural world and internalizing that life inward, \u003cem\u003eBehind the Blue\u003c\/em\u003e is my internal life and dialogue, my mind's eye, if you will, being shared with the outside world.\" Completed in the weeks following Arsego's uterine cancer diagnosis and related surgeries, she describes the experience, \"as seeing life through a more sharply focused lens.\" Also, as one living with anxiety and depression most of her life, Arsego also strongly supports efforts to improve mental health education and awareness, and hopes the message within the pages of \u003cem\u003eBehind the Blue\u003c\/em\u003e will serve as a useful contribution to the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753056534816,"sku":"9798218385514","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1cf4445753e7943df36b438bf2eefec7.webp?v=1780011451","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/behind-the-blue-poetry-prose-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
