Overview

About the book Blink is the brilliant debut poetry collection by American poet Linda Adelia Powers. Coming soon from Wheelsong Books! Linda Adelia Powers writes poetry that is thoughtful, direct and attentive to our shared experience of the world. Her poems focus on moments of awareness and epiphany, uncertainty and doubt, and personal reflection. Inside you will find poems that deftly shift between everyday life and the bigger questions we all ask about time, existence and meaning. In BLINK, Powers draws on her knowledge and love of art, music, nature and human relationships in a way that draws us in, yetallows each of us to determine our own answers to deep questions. Her language is clear and uncluttered, allowing ideas to unfold at their own pace. Silence, pauses, and words left unsaid are as important as what actually appears on the pages. BLINK invites us to slow down and take in our surroundings. It speaks to the shared experience of trying to understand ourselves and the world around us with open and enquiring minds.
