Ellen Birkett Morris

4.9/5 (13327 ratings)

Description:Whether it is a mother putting her child on the school bus for the first time in “Surrender” or finding love despite the interruptions of everyday life in “Louisville, KY, USA,” Ellen Birkett Morris’s poems explore the small but transcendent moments that define our lives. “This book emerged from losing my father, the changes brought by reaching my mid-forties and facing some of the hard realities of life. Ultimately it is a celebration of life, love and learning to let go,” said Morris. “In Surrender, Ellen Birkett Morris shows us love and loss from adolescence to age in images that pierce to the heart: a long-married couple makes love on “sheets / soft with age,” a daughter waves from her first school bus with a “purple gloved hand,” a poor man dreams “worn shoe-leather dreams.” These short poems sometimes seem deceptively quiet, but each shines as softly burnished as a pearl,” said Sherry Chandler, author of Weaving a New Eden and Dance the Black-eyed Girl. “The poems in Surrender are about growing up, grieving and embracing a life that is changed, but none the less sweet,” said Morris.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
