Things move backwards, from death to life, like a reverse time-lapse video of a dead flower morphing from brittle, scorched entity to floral glory to nascent bud. The poems seek to find those places where the natural world connects to and informs experiences at the core of human relationships, and at times call upon principles and theories from physics and mathematics to describe the complexities of love and loss. It's a book where grief, melancholy, heartbreak, and disillusionment intersect with urban romanticism, hope, possibility, and love. Bloom is all of it, the terrible and the beautiful.Pitt poetry series.DeathPoetryDeath808.8193548Leo Teresa1682925MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827004203321Bloom in reverse4053352UNINA
