Frustration Flowers: Poems of Growth and Change Amber M. Thille

A new and unique book of poetry, Frustration Flowers is a journey through phases of life that are integral to the process of becoming a complete person. The reader is lead through an ongoing metaphor comparing the human heart with that of a special breed of flower that sprouts, grows, and blooms only when nourished by frustrations. Structured around a single series of nine poems that describe this cycle, the 174 poems in the book fit rather well into categories entitled Flower Chant, Insanity Flower,and Dying Flower to name a few. A new author, Amber M. Thille has no trouble proving her prowess in both prose and poetry in this debut publication. While the poetry speaks for itself, her ability to weave a web of words is also illustrated in the section introductions where the significance of each section to her is explained. As if the stellar writing were not enough, Frustration Flowers contains a few illustrations drawn by the author's own hand. Both Frustration Flowers and Ms. Thille are sure to have a promising future.
