Publisher Description
All our perspectives come from light and shadows. What lies in the darkness, hidden from our understanding? What might a sudden light reveal? The answers to such questions are as changeable as the seasons, but giving them voice has always been the purview of poets . . . their offered insights directly impacting how we perceive the world around us and our own place within its vastness.
Ashes of Innocence: A Poetic Journey Through Shadow & Light is a poetry collection that speaks to all of that and more, examining all of life’s vagaries—its loves and losses, blessings and curses—through the pebbled glass of the author’s own lived experience, and with insight, vulnerability, and humour.
With its mature and relatable prose, clever rhymes, and deeply impactful imagery, this is a collection that will speak meaningfully to its readers, encourage them to delve deep into life's shadows, and to emerge, changed and reinvigorated, into the light.
Customer Reviews
Questioning oneself
After reading his collection of poems, I couldn’t help but think that MJ Bear has courageously dug deep into his treasure trove of emotions that’s he’s experienced from childhood to adulthood.
His personal journey of tough memories like the phone call to lighter moments like walking the dog led me to reflect within my own experiences. I’m sure other readers will do the same.
In today’s chaotic world, readers should take a few moments to read this collection of poetry and look within, as MJ Bear has clearly done, and find joyous subtleties within the emotional roller coaster of life.
Thank you MJ Bear for taking your readers on a journey of emotions using your words and illustrations!
