Enormous Blue Umbrella is the kind of poetry collection that doesn’t shout—it hums. Donna Stonecipher’s words move with grace, honoring the hidden weight of memory, grief, joy, and observation. Every poem feels like it’s holding its breath, inviting you to lean in and listen more closely to the world around you.
There’s a rare sensitivity here, not just in language, but in the emotional architecture of each piece. It’s introspective without being distant, personal without being confessional. I found myself rereading certain lines just to sit a little longer with them.
If you’re drawn to writing that’s both contemplative and exacting, this is a book that will stay with you.
