Butterflies at Hope Station - Paperback

by Suzi Rapoport (Author)

With joy and depth, Suzi Rapoport evokes the span of our human journey, in the 44 poems in this collection Butterflies at Hope Station. Their ease and seeming simplicity carry them on wings whose colours come to reveal unexpected subtlety and maturity. From poem to poem or from line to line, sensuousness can veer into wry honesty, enchantment into down-to-earth humour, and emotional innocence into emotional experience. Gentle yet sharp, with an essential playfulness shaped by moments of cooler detachment, this butterfly-flight points us generously upwards, towards whatever we may be trying to resolve or celebrate in our brief and beautiful lives in this world.
