2017 Blooming Through the Solstice Deann Louise Daigle

2017 Blooming Through the Solstice is a memoir in poetry, written during 2017. It explores the past and present of its author, a Maine native and New York City resident. "This is just the book of poetry to give to one who is a seeker. As the author very specifically plumbs the depths of her life and lays herself bare to give rise to a deeply reassuring work - we, accompanying her in all of our great and terrible ragged, imperfect, and human glory - also plumb our souls and arrive to a place of stillness, acceptance, and grace. "A rocking chair can conquer the world." Indeed. And like the best literature it changes and enlarges us a little bit." --Paula Orndoff, Filmmaker/Producer
