Overview

Just like the pieces of glass that make up a mosaic, each human being is part of God's creation. We may not look alike, dress alike, talk alike, or think alike, but it's our commonalities that bring the varying degrees of color and light together and allow us to see that we are not so different after all. How many of us have wept over the loss of a loved one or faced depression and anxiety or suffered through abuse, toxic relationships, or trauma? How many of us have clung to hope, have made wishes on stars, have prayed to God for strength and endurance? In the end, we all need each other--we need to be part of the whole.

Reviews

""Mosaic: A Million Little Pieces is a book of poetry that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. It explores the width and breath of the human condition through shared and unshared experiences, memories and vignettes. Each of which are molded together sometimes through grief, sometimes through humor, sometimes through exultation, sometimes through solace to create a written symphony that reverberates from each page."" --Sterling Joseph Coleman Jr., director, Library Services, Clark State College ""In his famous essay on poetry, Ranier Maria Rilke describes the vast range of experiences that must happen 'for the sake of a single poem.' Arvilla Fee's latest collection, Mosaic, A Million Little Pieces, embodies Rilke's definition beautifully. Whether she is writing about personal relationships and experiences or imagining the life of a soldier or someone who is suffering through no fault of their own, Fee's work demonstrates her deep engagement with the world. Her boundless empathy shines through every page, and though she states that 'Some Things Won't Bear the Weight of Words, ' somehow, she never stops trying to find the language to describe the indescribable. Lucky us!"" --Marjory Wentworth, former poet laureate of South Carolina
