Relief, Have You a Name? by Phoebe Marrall - Phoebe Marrall - Bog

A rich testament to the power of creativity and the human spirit, Marrall's debut collection is filled with stark, realistic poems that paint an intimate portrait of love, loss, identity, and the ever-present need for empathy. In these vibrant poems of nature and biography, Marrall showcases a true talent for imbuing the smallest human details with authenticity and layered meanings. Overflowing with vivid and accessible language, Relief, Have You A Name? is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging, written with clear eyes and an open, curious heart.

To be alive is the greatest miracle of all. We are born to grow, to question, to create. And when, in the inevitable moments where life threatens to crush us, it's our relentless desire to breathe that leads us back into the light, alarmed at having been so cruelly surprised. Each piece in this collection from the quiet heart of Phoebe Marrall is like a bright red berry placed in the sun, oxygen that honors the miracle. I highly, highly recommend sitting down and having yourself some Phoebe Marrall red.
