I love this book. Andrea Potos brings whimsy, wonder, and a willingness to be wrestled by life's challenges. And in every poem, she shows us how to be resilient, how to lean into \u003ci\u003eessential gratitude\u003c\/i\u003e, how to converse with color, with art, with other poets, with our heritage, with our self. \u003ci\u003eMarrow of Summer\u003c\/i\u003e leaves in us a wake of goodness, a certainty that we are deeply connected.\u003cp\u003e-Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, Author of \u003ci\u003eHush and Naked for Tea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fleeting world of joy and sorrow, these startlingly lovely poems by Andrea Potos are salutary, like taking a quick, deep, clarifying breath. If only one could ever have by one's side such a poet-a wise poet who, despite the darkest odds, reminds us to never even consider \u003ci\u003echoosing anything other than hope\u003c\/i\u003e. This is a summer book to keep in one's proverbial winter coat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Richard Jones, Editor of \u003ci\u003ePoetry East\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading the poems in Andrea Potos' new collection, \u003ci\u003eMarrow of Summer\u003c\/i\u003e, I was reminded of \u003ci\u003ekotodama\u003c\/i\u003e, the Japanese belief that deep mystical powers can dwell in words. How else to explain the draw of Potos' compact, prayerful, and fresh-sighted poems? With her trademark optimism and hope, she invites us in this new collection to \u003ci\u003ecreate the place from where your beloveds may soar\u003c\/i\u003e, so that we too might soar right along with her, into the heart of everyday life made more miraculous by the force of these carefully chosen words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-James Crews, Editor of \u003ci\u003eHow to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Potos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195435312X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954353121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrea Potos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944469233919,"sku":"9781954353121","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_47c82291-7499-4faa-bd7c-767b2824ff7d.jpg?v=1681503706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marrow-of-summer-andrea-potos-9781954353121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
