Breathe In Daisy, Breathe Out Stones - Paperback

by Rachel L. Macaulay (Editor), Cindy Rinne (Author)

BREATHE IN DAISY, BREATHE OUT STONES is Cindy Rinne's third full collection of surreal poems. The poet-artist invites us into an introspective space, calling us to look outward through the lens of beauty and suffering. She explores the fragility of our words, our bodies, our lives, and our death. Whether unearthing a carved oracle bone, listening to a night messenger, or walking on stilts, the experience of this poetry is fluid and raw. Through the emotions of loss, acceptance, forgiveness, relationships, courage, destiny, and love the identities of many cultures and seasons of life are portrayed.
