Blue Pollen Beautiful

Whimsy and from the heart Libby Goodsirs words reflect what is to be human and to be a mother. Madeleines images perfectly counterpoint Libbys words adding a thousand new dimensions to the meditation. What a gift! - Chris GallagherA collection of images and words playing with what it is to be human / they asked to be put together. Blue Pollen Beautiful is the result of a serendipitous collaboration between mother and daughter. Overruling a daughters decisive and unsentimental intention to discard earlier artwork her mother rescues the images and strategically places them among her own gentle meditative poems. The result is a lovely distillation of womens lived experience of the shuffle of women / making more space. The poems celebrate the various selves the poet encounters within and without as she explores the beauties of change and traces the flow of life from generation to generation like seagrasses / borne up by each wave. Blue Pollen Beautiful honours both the flow and the anchored / lucid -mothers and daughters as givers and keepers of story. - Terry Whitebeach
