Description

"The Late-Blooming Flower and other poems" is a collection of original poems by Linda Love. Each of the 108 poems is accompanied by a full-color photograph of a natural scene, chosen carefully to complement the poem it is paired with. These scenes include stunning photographs of mountains, deserts, oceans, forests, birds, butterflies, flowers, and many more. A total of nine photographers contributed to the book, which also features the artwork of three artists. This visual poetry is a unique aspect of the book, where images are poems, and poems are images. The reader will be stimulated to discover the relationship between picture and poem, and also be drawn into reflecting on the meaning of each poem, written in an inclusive way that encompasses our common human experience.

The poems are grouped into four sections - Nature, Love, Society, and Life and Death. The author describes poetry as "Life forged in the fire of experience, sparked by Imagination, and welded into words". She invites the reader to explore poetic visions of themes that touch on our joys and sorrows, as well as our relationship to the natural world of which we are a part.

"The Late-Blooming Flower and other poems" can be enjoyed, read, reread, and shared, much as one can listen to a beautiful piece of music over and over again, each time with a fresh yet deepening understanding.
