Synopsis
Echos of Frederico García Lorca, Yiannis Ritsons, and Rumi add exoticism to this poet's deceptively simple style. Combining confession with analytical rigor, most of these poems are variations on classic themes, but they are driven by the particulars of politics, love, and family life. As the poems progress, repeated symbols—such as cars, coats, cups, rooms, bees, and roses—begin to hint that the poet has a secret recipe for contentment: home and hearth, travel, warm weather, and a belief in human growth.

Review
"To read Bowering is to fall into the mystical hands of her words; she never betrays our trust." —Susan Musgrave, author, What the Small Day Cannot Hold: Collected Poems 1970–1985
"Haunted by life . . . most tellingly, in the ghosts that seem unwilling to disappear simply into absence, silence, and the past tense." —Quill & Quire
"A powerful argument for love itself." —Books in Canada
