Hearth

Description

Review Hearth is a treasure trove of poems, in which Rose Cook maps the spirit, exploring how the ordinary and everyday is full of magic and love. In her voice as clear as spring water, we catch 'the hum of soul / its weight the heart of a lark.' Rebecca Gethin, author of All the Time in the WorldThese are numinous poems which register human fragility, yet their awareness of 'how close to breaking we must live' serves to strengthen their grateful celebration of life, with its moments of human tenderness and natural beauty ... a sensitive, haunting collection ... reminds us of our soul's priorities. Rosie Jackson, author of The Light BoxRose Cook's poetry is a secret dance, a graceful flight as her words lift from the page, light and tender and yet powerful enough to change the way we see the world.
