Unsung Offerings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646626076)

Marianne Brems writes of many unsung offerings with the poet's eye for telling detail; the glory of dandelions reviled by gardeners but with myriad unexpected talents and uses, the hidden gifts of smaller shapes nestled among mountains "who speak through softer edges/and quieter voices/to reflective observers/no cameras in hand." You will find many unsung offerings in this perfectly titled book. Luckily for us, Brems plucks them up and sings them into being. These offerings we keep in our mind's eye; the journey of a leaf, the travels of a dandelion, the revealing of greater truths.

the novel The Siren Dialogues

I adored this collection of elegant, witty, and insightful poems that sharpened my world view. By offering a wide range of observations on the world around her, Brems provides a deeper commentary for us as readers. Her defense of nature rings true as she asks us, in fact challenges us, to honor our living environment. Savor these gems!
