Awe and Other Words Like Wow

Poems

Beschreibung

""In her second poetry collection, Kat Georges consciously searches for joy in a world of growing darkness and finds it in unexpected places. She finds it in unexpected places: at the doctor's office, after being diagnosed with a serious ailment; on the streets of New York, after hearing a young child's laugh; facing off with noisy neighbors; in a supermarket vegetable section encounter with a philosopher. Her adamant insistence on seeking light in the darkest of places sets her work apart in a media-driven world seeking out the grief and devastation, and provides both solace and inspiration for the reader. These new poems combine humor and deep insight into human nature to capture moments of much-needed wonder and enchantment"-- Provided by publisher.
