I love this book. Andrea Potos brings whimsy, wonder, and a willingness to be wrestled by life's challenges. And in every poem, she shows us how to be resilient, how to lean into \u003ci\u003eessential gratitude\u003c\/i\u003e, how to converse with color, with art, with other poets, with our heritage, with our self. \u003ci\u003eMarrow of Summer\u003c\/i\u003e leaves in us a wake of goodness, a certainty that we are deeply connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, Author of \u003ci\u003eHush and Naked for Tea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fleeting world of joy and sorrow, these startlingly lovely poems by Andrea Potos are salutary, like taking a quick, deep, clarifying breath. If only one could ever have by one's side such a poet-a wise poet who, despite the darkest odds, reminds us to never even consider \u003ci\u003echoosing anything other than hope\u003c\/i\u003e. This is a summer book to keep in one's proverbial winter coat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Richard Jones, Editor of \u003ci\u003ePoetry East\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading the poems in Andrea Potos' new collection, \u003ci\u003eMarrow of Summer\u003c\/i\u003e, I was reminded of \u003ci\u003ekotodama\u003c\/i\u003e, the Japanese belief that deep mystical powers can dwell in words. How else to explain the draw of Potos' compact, prayerful, and fresh-sighted poems? With her trademark optimism and hope, she invites us in this new collection to \u003ci\u003ecreate the place from where your beloveds may soar\u003c\/i\u003e, so that we too might soar right along with her, into the heart of everyday life made more miraculous by the force of these carefully chosen words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-James Crews, Editor of \u003ci\u003eHow to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786123673888,"sku":"9781954353121","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0b739d48ae7c915f992c3cb78d339c4a.webp?v=1780628140","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/marrow-of-summer-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
