Bøger af Julia Blumenreich

In her 4th poetry chapbook, The What of Underfoot, Julia Blumenreich continues to explore through striking painterly images, original forms and direct address the effects of grief, loss, abuse, world politics and the relationship of nature to our lives and the lives of children. There is great sorrow at the death of her husband from a long illness and the unexpected suicide of her only sibling, a brother.There is great love and respect for the 4th graders she's taught for over 30 years and for the natural landscape which sustain her. Read these 27 richly lyrical and image-laden poems and be transported to another approach to understanding the complexities of our world: life, death, violence, abusive parents, the pandemic, the rights of children, and the power of the nature. Her background as a painter and teacher adds an original voice to these powerful poems.
