Joyful Bliss & Broken Hearts - Phyllis Delia - Bog

The Transcendent Lyricism of Everyday Life
What is poetry? Sometimes it seems too challenging to comprehend-metaphors and language that you have to sit down and wrestle with. Joyful Bliss & Broken Hearts is a different style of poetry: accessible, real, relatable. Poet Phyllis Marie Delia throws open a window to the grace and the ache of everyday life, illuminating a diverse range of topics including family, spirituality, birds, lazy days, innocence, friendship, aging, and more. Over fifty years of life lived with richness and depth have given her a broad perspective on the bright flame of joy, the crush of life's disappointments, and the risks of cynicism and despair that come from shattered love. No matter who you are or what your journey has been, you'll find resonance, inspiration, and communion in this collection of reflections from the heart.
