A Bouquet of Glass

by Carol Krause

What are you left with when glass shatters? Emerging from a mind with a propensity for the otherworldly and an unsuitability for the worldly, A Bouquet of Glass gathers the fragments of different realities into a vivid, piercing collection. These poems are the extra-ordinary stories of a poet living with a naturally psychoactive mind and a life-altering disability. From heightened altered states to spacious musings and playful concoctions, they are disarmingly human notes of love and loss. At once elegy and wild romp, they invite different pieces of a life to exist together uneasily, gracefully, precariously. You may wish to curl up with this book on one side of the glass, but only once a whirling storm has rushed through.

Carol Krause's A Bouquet of Glass contains a sensitive and thought-provoking collecting of poetry and soul-searching.

Krause's writing is "the extra-ordinary stories of a poet living with a naturally psychoactive mind and a life-altering disability." Many of these bite size writing are introspective.

Thank you GoodReads for the book.
