Butterflies at Hope Station

<p><strong>With joy and depth Suzi Rapoport<em> </em>evokes the span of our human journey in the 44 poems in this collection <em>Butterflies at Hope Station</em>. Their ease and seeming simplicity carry them on wings whose colours come to reveal unexpected subtlety and maturity. </strong>From poem to poem or from line to line sensuousness can veer into wry honesty enchantment into down-to-earth humour and emotional innocence into emotional experience. Gentle yet sharp with an essential playfulness shaped by moments of cooler detachment this butterfly-flight points us generously upwards towards whatever we may be trying to resolve or celebrate in our brief and beautiful lives in this world.</p>
