| Publisher Description: There are tiny jewels to be found within the pages of Hearth, like the opening of a pomegranate: 'Part gently to the heart for rubies we eat from a pin'. Rose Cook writes of climbing and falling, age and loss, fear and loneliness, but most of all of life and survival. With echoes of Rumi and Mary Oliver, these are poems for the soul, the heart and the hearth. Hearth is a treasure trove of poems, in which Rose Cook maps the spirit, exploring how the ordinary and everyday is full of magic and love. In her voice as clear as spring water, we catch 'the hum of soul / its weight the heart of a lark.' Rebecca Gethin, author of All the Time in the World These are numinous poems which register human fragility, yet their awareness of 'how close to breaking we must live' serves to strengthen their grateful celebration of life, with its moments of human tenderness and natural beauty ... a sensitive, haunting collection ... reminds us of our soul's priorities. Rosie Jackson, author of The Light Box Rose Cook's poetry is a secret dance, a graceful flight as her words lift from the page, light and tender and yet powerful enough to change the way we see the world. Robert Garnham, author of Nice |
